Leeds' All Time Greats: No 3 Gary Sprake

Last updated : 15 February 2010 By Rick Broadbent

Gary Sprake (1962-73) 506 apps, 0 goals

Sprake had miracle moments, although his legacy has inevitably been tainted by high-profile errors and his ostracism from the Leeds family for speaking ill of Don Revie's finances. If you prefer unspectacular reliability over fairly regular brilliance, then substitute David Harvey here.
