A section of the away fans at Chelsea, clearly angered by rumours of him not minding if he joined Manchester United, were singing: "You sign for scum - you won't be back" and "Smithy don't sign for scum".
Smith allegedly responded with an "obscene gesture" and did not seem to be too interested in the match itself, hardly making a worthwhile tackle for the whole 90 minutes.
Kevin Blackwell tried to defuse the situation, saying that Smith could leave Elland Road 'With his head held high'.
Leeds substitute Nick Barmby was also taunted to chants of: "You're not fit to wear the shirt" and "**** off Barmby!"
Rather unsavoury all round but probably sums up the season.
