Bobby Davison rose to become a Leeds United cult hero during his four seasons with the Whites during which time he netted 35 times in 110 appearances. He claimed six goals in his first season at Elland Road and 17 in his second. His haul of 11 in the 1989-90 promotion-winning term included a spate of five in as many matches. “Five out of five wasn’t much of a run,” Davison once said modestly. “Ten out of 10 would have been better.” Enjoy these memories of a striker who will be forever be remembered by a generation of fans Whites watching in the 1980s.
