1RIP Bill. Truly honoured I have met you last year and felt what you represents to @LUFC family. Thank you for all you have done as custodian of this special club.

Players such as Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister and Tony Dorigo later joined Leeds as part of Silver and Fotherby’s ambitious plans to lead them back to the top of English football.Wilkinson guided Leeds to promotion to the top flight two years later and led them to their crowning glory when they pipped Manchester United to the league title in 1992.
