Legend.

Now 47-years-old, the former centre-half picked up the popular nicknames “Rhoo” and “The Chief”, after making over 220 appearances for The Whites between 1994 and 2005.

The ex-South Africa international, who captained his country at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, was part of the Leeds squad that reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2001.

Just a year after the club’s relegation from the Premier League, the centre-half retired from football after playing just 46 minutes of league action in the Championship during the 2004-05 campaign.

Since then; Radebe has made it clear he would love to one day manage his beloved Leeds… Watch out Monk!
