Add to that Stuart Dallas who proved with two brilliant goals just how important he is to Leeds.
Both of his strikes were unstoppable and his stock is likely to rise further this summer after representing Northern Ireland at the Euros.
It’s easy to forget that Dallas is still only 24 - with potential for even better to come - and while less documented than Cook and Taylor, he is bound to have potential suitors in the summer.
On this evidence, he could be just as crucial to the cause.
It’s odd to think that Dallas has scored only two goals all season prior to the Birmingham clash because on this evidence many more will follow.
