Revealed! The starting XI of talent who played for both Leeds United and West Ham - Including Keane, Green, and Deane

Leeds United and West Ham have arguably been two of the standout stories of the Premier League season so far.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men have won over legions of neutrals with their pedal-to-the-metal attacking style, while absolutely nobody would have predicted that the Hammers would still be in contention for a top four finish with 12 games left to play.

Looking beyond the confines of this campaign, however, there’s no denying that the Whites and the Irons are historically two of the biggest sides in English football.

For their part, East Londoners have won three FA Cups and provided a significant portion of England’s 1966 World Cup winning squad, while Leeds have three league titles and a cup win of their own.
