Leeds United Third Shirt 1997/98

Under new manager George Graham, Leeds United enjoyed a strong recovery, finishing 5th in the Premier League and qualifying for the UEFA Cup. Graham built a solid, disciplined side after several inconsistent years, focusing on defensive organisation and tactical structure. The squad featured key players like Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who joined from Boavista and quickly became top scorer, alongside Harry Kewell, Lee Bowyer, and captain Lucas Radebe. While not the most attacking team, Leeds’ resilience and work ethic made them difficult opponents. This season laid the groundwork for David O’Leary’s exciting, attacking Leeds side that would soon challenge Europe’s elite.
