He wore a Leeds top from 2000-01 with 'Viduka 9' on the back.
Ex-frontman Mark Viduka, 49, had his longest spell in English football with the Whites - from 2000-2004.

But it's just possible Viduka was referring to the hitman's kit rather than his musical ability as the Aussie posted: "What a privilege."
Bamford's effort was all the more remarkable as it followed

That's also the status Phillips had at his hometown club Leeds.

And for now Wham Bam is the man - thanks to the Chiefs.
One fan raved: "Crowd were amazing and a lot of fun was had! Cameo performance from P Bamford an absolute highlight!!'
Another wrote: "Great day out at what was a mini-festival more than a gig. Kaiser Chiefs were amazing, bringing Patrick Bamford and the Championship trophy out on stage added to a very Leeds-centric gig (so many LUFC shirts there)."

British Conservative Party leader says BBC 'should not show' Kneecap at Glastonbury
British Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has said she thinks the BBC "should not be showing" Kneecap's performance at Glastonbury Festival next week. In a social media post on X, which was accompanied by an article from The Times that claimed the BBC had not banned the group, Ms Badenoch wrote: "The BBC should not be showing Kneecap propaganda. "One Kneecap band member is currently on bail, charged under the Terrorism Act. "As a publicly funded platform, the BBC should not be rewarding extremism." On Wednesday, Mr Ó hAnnaidh was accompanied to Westminster Magistrates' Court by his two other band members, JJ Ó Dochartaigh, whose stage name is DJ Próvaí, and Naoise Ó Cairealláin, whose stage name is Móglaí Bap. Mr Ó hAnnaidh is alleged to have displayed a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town in north London on 21 November last year. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on 20 August. Following the hearing, the rapper said: "For anybody going to Glastonbury, you can see us there at 4pm on the Saturday. "If you can't be there we'll be on the BBC, if anybody watches the BBC. We'll be at Wembley in September." In November, Kneecap won its discrimination case over a decision made by Ms Badenoch to refuse them funding. A BBC spokesperson said: "As the broadcast partner, the BBC will be bringing audiences extensive music coverage from Glastonbury, with artists booked by the festival organisers. "Whilst the BBC doesn't ban artists, our plans will ensure that our programming will meet our editorial guidelines. Decisions about our output will be made in the lead up to the festival." During their sold-out gig at Fairview Park in Dublin on Thursday, DJ Próvaí thanked fans who turned out to support them during their bandmate's court case. Formed in 2017, the Belfast trio are known for their provocative lyrics in both Irish and English. Their best-known tracks include Get Your Brits Out, Better Way To Live, featuring Grian Chatten from Fontaines DC, and 3Cag.

Live GAA updates: Follow the action as Cavan travel to Kerry for preliminary quarter-final
2.55pm Good afternoon everyone. Welcome along to our Examiner Sport liveblog of what's shaping to be a Saturday scorcher of Championship action. The stakes have risen with the temperatures. What you can smell in the air is the peril of straight knockout competition. On deck in the coming hours we have a pair of All-Ireland preliminary quarter finals in the football Championship and two All-Ireland hurling quarter-finals. It's Joe Callaghan here to help navigate the first half of a hectic day. I hope everyone has their sunscreen handy for the afternoon throw-ins, starting with the visit of Cavan down to Fitzgerald Stadium to face Jack O'Connor's Kerry, with a 3.30pm throw-in. Tony Leen will be on the ground in Killarney to provide updates and analysis. Next up will be the first half of a Croke Park hurling-football double header where Limerick face Dublin (4.00pm) before it's Cork's turn against the boys in blue, John Cleary's men looking to follow last weekend's victory over Roscommon by dumping the Dubs out of the Championship. That game throws in at 6.15pm, the same time that arguably the day's standout contest, the meeting of Galway and Tipperary gets going at the Gaelic Grounds with an All-Ireland hurling semi-final at stake. Maurice Brosnan will be our man in Limerick. So, plenty ahead of us. And plenty behind us too, which means I have some required reading to get stuck into before the action gets going. Here's Eamonn Fitzmaurice on how Jack O'Connor must lean on experience, honesty and hard truths to help Kerry rebound from last week's chastening defeat to Meath.
