He was one of a number of youngsters who reported for their first full day of training. A high proportion of them were from Leeds and the surrounding districts.

Winger Mark Gavin - who would go on to make 30 appearances for the Whites scoring three goals - is also featured (wearing number 42).

But who is everyone else? And did they go on to make a career from football? Email [email protected] if you can help identify anyone or Tweet him at @AndyHutchYPN
