With a great start to life under manager Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road, Leeds United are still sitting pretty near the top of the table even though the double injuries to Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford has stunted our goal return in recent matches.

We keep ticking along though and only one point separates the top three in the Championship table now even if we’ve moved out of first place.
With the October international break now in full flow, the Leeds United social media team took full advantage of the fact that former striker Mark Viduka was celebrating his 43rd birthday on Tuesday and with real football stalled, fans took full opportunity to remember the man who gave us so many good memories with 72 goals in his time with us.
Happy Viduka 4-3rd Liverpool birthday, Mark! #lufc

Few I imagine, won’t be hoping that Bielsa can unearth a gem like him again during his time at the club or get exactly the same kind of consistency out of Roofe, Bamford or another member of our current crop.
