The last Leeds United XI to face Derby County in the FA Cup

Just under 30 years have passed since Leeds United faced Derby County in the FA Cup.

Leeds United discovered their FA Cup third round opponents on Monday night as Daniel Farke’s men were handed a visit to Championship club Derby County.

There is recent history between the two sides after they were involved in a Championship promotion race during Marcelo Bielsa’s managerial reign at Elland Road and that produced the expected fireworks as the two sides went head-to-head.

However, you have to go further back to discover the last time Leeds travelled to Derby in the FA Cup. That came in a third round tie in January 1996 as goals from Gary Speed, Brian Deane and Tony Yeboah helped Howard Wilkinson’s Whites come from two goals down to earn a 3-2 win at the Rams’ former home of the Baseball Ground.

But which players represented the Whites that day?
