The Scot's inclusion is also a vote for Carl Harris because, although next to useless in the 1980s, Leeds did at least have two high-class wingers. I had a soft spot for both of them and Harris did turn down Manchester United for Charlton Athletic, but Graham gets the nod for the top 50. His speed was more iffy wiring than electric, but he was clever and when he scored his hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the world seemed to make a bit more sense. He still lives near Leeds, coaches at the academy and, when he visits schools, says he encourages the kids to sing Marching On Together. What a man.
