Leeds United Striker - signed by Alan Smith
This limited edition print of only 250 copies features a classic image of Alan Smith celebrating another goal for Leeds United. Alan made his senior Premiership debut as a substitute against Liverpool at Anfield, where he displayed his natural scoring ability by scoring with his first touch of the ball. That goal helped propel him into the 1998-99 season, as he was one-half of manager David O'Leary's first-choice striker pairing, along with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Smith was an integral part of the Leeds team that reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2001. The following season saw Smith switched to the midfield, his versatility being utilised by O'Leary, as the Leeds Utd manager tried to accommodate new signings. A hometown hero for supporters of Leeds United, Smith won the "Supporter's Player of the Year" award two years running between 2003 and 2004 - a first in Leeds' history. When Leeds were relegated in May 2004, Smith ended his Leeds career by kissing the badge and crying at his last match. Due to Leeds financial difficulties, Smith chose to waive his personal transfer fee owed to him by the club when he moved to Manchester United.
