You are indeed correct, i've noticed a few people claiming he was a left back when in fact he could use both feet and was quite a good right footed free kick taker for both Utd and the Republic of Ireland.

He was a left back primarily, and he took penalties for United and the R.O.I.

And he's a bloody legend.

You all have to rem. that most of the players you have all said is not in the game! ie; V.Jones etc.

I tell you what annoys me even more than Martin Keown's face, is the way he uses his hands to talk. Watch him on MOTD 2 and Football Focus, he moves his hands like he is making a profound point that we should all sit up and listen to when we all know it is just the inane twitterings of an ugly monkey.

[turn it upto 11]

if keown ever played fm he'd be a little stung at the comment some managers say, "i think its time for him to give up the day job and become a pundit"

speaking of great teams, i was england manager and had a great coacing team.

Dicks retired but did play 4 games for Canvey Island (and scored). Martin went to the Orient. Repka got homesick and went back to Sparta and Di Canio went to charlton, CHARLTON!!!!!

So your point was nearly valid... But CHARLTON!!!! (shakes head repeatedly)

Just out of interest can anyone make a side of former players anywhere near as good as the Hammers? I'm gonna re-configure the first XI so all players are current.

Not bad but 5 of those guys are retired.

All my WHU side are still playing.

Leeds could do a good side all of whome are still playing i'm sure...

Robinson, Lennon, Viduka, Woodgate, Ferdinand, etc...

[turn it upto 11]

sorry forgot you said current, wed do well defensively, but attacking i think cole lampard tevez defoe all own us.

[bomjr]

Even until now, I still can't believe Leeds are not in the EPL. With all the greats which they had. I don't care if the team was alledgedly full of thugs. You gotta hand it to O'leary.

I'd say Robbie Keane should be in that line up. David Batty was pretty influential. I wouldn't want Alan Smith or Lee Bowyer though. They made so many promises that they would stay with Leeds for good, yet they still left. Friggin A-Holes if you ask me.

Leeds! Please come back! Go David Bell!

He played for West Ham in between playing for Villa and Man City, from about 2001 until about 2004.

Oh yeah forgot he played for Man City too, honestly didnt realise he was at West Ham!

Ketsbaia is in there, but no Michael Laudrup ? Mark Bosnich too, but no Peter Schmeichel ?

[LeeofLeeds82]

Thumbs up to Radebe (yes i'm a Leeds fan) but got to agree with a previous poster and state that he wasn't "a great". Leeds legend yes, but our greatest defender in recent years, no.

Anyway, just posting to ask why he's considered a left sided defender as well as central?

Its all Venebles' fault! And the board as well! They all suck! O'Leary was doing so well with the team! Screw corporate Leeds! What a waste of talent! We had so many years to go. Just got a good Champion's League placing! We were about to explode!

Nah, sorry mate but I have to disagree with you there. Adams was a fantastic centre half but Radebe was immense. His reading of the game was second to none.
