Speedy Reaney was the best right back Leeds have ever had. He was fast, strong in the air and had a penchant for shackling prime-time George Best. Reaney made more than 700 appearances for Leeds and would have been even better but for the broken leg he suffered a week before the 1970 FA Cup Final. Reaney can still be spotted at Elland Road and, among his varied roles, he now acts as the agent for No 47 in this list. How did that happen?
