When Leeds United were last relegated from the Premier League in 2004, it was the lowest point of my career.
I was embarrassed to have been part of such a great club’s demise and as captain it hit me particularly hard.
It was only when Leeds finally returned to the top flight 16 years later under Marcelo Bielsa that I finally got over it. Now here we are with supposedly a three per cent chance of survival going into the final day.
Two decades ago, Leeds’ well-documented financial problems had begun to unravel but we stayed up in 2002-03 under Peter Reid.
