| Leeds United entered the first season of the F.A. Premier League in 1992 as unofficial champions after pipping Manchester United to the Division One title earlier in the year. Their first season ended with them in 17th spot, but brighter times were on the horizon as the West Yorkshire outfit forged their place in the top bracket of English football. Their most memorable recent campaign came in 2001 when Leeds reached the semi-finals of the Champions League under former manager David O'Leary. AC Milan, Lazio, Barcelona and Deportivo La Coruna were all seen off before Valencia defeated them in the last four. Leeds followed that with their fifth-consecutive top-five finish in the F.A. Premier League the next season. F.A. Premier League goal machine Robbie Fowler was added to a potent mix of attacking flair that includes Mark Viduka, Harry Kewell and Alan Smith during the 2001/2002 campaign. Fowler and Danny Mills were among several Leeds United stars on duty at the World Cup finals in 2002, and with highly-respected coach Terry Venables now at the helm, silverware certainly looks to be on the horizon. |
