After sealing a £33,000 move from Old Trafford to Leeds United, Johnny Giles was handed his debut by manager Don Revie.

The Dublin-born midfielder went on to enjoy a 12-year spell with Leeds as he became a vital member of Revie's boys, who won countless trophies in the late 60s and early 70s.
Giles scored 114 goals in 523 appearances during his spell with the club from 1963 to 1975.
