Loads of Leeds United fans have been sharing the same message on social media after the club posted Stuart Dallas’ top-10 goals since moving to Elland Road.
Dallas joined United from Brentford in 2015 for a fee believed to have been in the region of Β£1.3million, and has since gone on to find the back of the net 17 times in 184 games across all competitions.
Supporters were quick to note that of Dallas’ 10 strikes included in the club’s post, four came against Birmingham City, with the remaining six divvied between goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Huddersfield Town, Sunderland, Stoke City, Derby County and Blackburn Rovers.
Dallas has only ever scored four times against Birmingham for any side of his career, having faced the St. Andrew’s natives 11 times – nine with Leeds, two with Brentford.
The most recent of Dallas’ strikes against Birmingham came in December of last year, when the 43-cap Northern Ireland international struck home on 84 minutes to give Marcelo Bielsa’s men the lead – only for Lukas Jutkiewicz to level again before Wes Harding’s injury-time own goal won us the match.
Two of Dallas’ previous hits over the Second City outfit came in April 2016 when his brace put a major dent in the Blues’ Play-Off hopes, while the versatile star also fired home in September 2017 to double our advantage.
Dallas’ second against Birmingham in April 2016 was nominated by the club as his best United goal to date, with his cool touch and dipping volley from the edge of the box favoured over his strike against Derby in last season’s Championship Play-Off Semi-Final second-leg.
The 28-year-old recorded a brace at home to the Rams last May to draw the team level on aggregate after goals from Jack Marriott, Mason Mount and Harry Wilson made Kemar Roofe’s first-leg winner a distant memory.

Marriott would go on to score again to ensure Frank Lampard’s side progressed to face Aston Villa at Wembley, but Dallas brought joy, and relief, to Elland Road and, hopefully, will be able to bring more smiles to faces in the future.
