Joe Jordan gently ran a finger along his front teeth and explained how the originals had been kicked clean out during his first appearance in a Leeds shirt.
‘I was playing for the reserves and diving for a header at goal,’ said Jordan. ‘The boy’s caught me, a complete accident, and taken two of them out, roots and all.
‘They weren’t smashed up. I got them. I kept them for a while. I went to the dentist, but they couldn’t do anything. I lost two more when I headed somebody by accident. It never bothered me. You get used to it.
