For Leeds United fans, next May will mark 13 years since their beloved side dropped out of the top-flight of English football.

The Whites finished 19th in the 2003-04 Premier League campaign; six points adrift of safety, only ahead of rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers in the standings, as they joined Wolves and third from bottom Leicester City in the Championship the following term.

Despite forward Mark Viduka (Pictured) netting 12 times in all competitions for Leeds, managers Peter Reid and Eddie Gray couldn’t save the club from the drop, with Chelsea hammering the final nail in the visitors’ coffin with a narrow 1-0 victory on the final day of term at Stamford Bridge.

Jesper Gronkjaer scored the only goal of the game in the 20th minute to condemn Leeds to their 21st loss of the Premier League campaign, more than any other side in the division.

Since then; Leeds have endured a three-year spell in League One and gone through countless managers, who have been unable to guide the Yorkshire outfit back into the Promised Land.

However, Garry Monk’s side are currently among the Championship’s play-off places after their opening 21 fixtures, so a return to the Premier League is not off the cards this term.

But, where are Leeds’ starting XI from their last Premier League squad in May 2004 now?

Shoot! found out…

Scott Carson

In January 2005, goalkeeper Carson left Elland Road for Anfield, joining Premier League giants Liverpool for a reported £750,000.

He went on to make just nine first-team appearances for The Reds, before moving onto West Brom in July 2008 for £3.75m, after loan spells at Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa respectively.

The Baggies proved to be a successful transfer for the now 31-year-old, including finishing as runners-up in the Championship in 2010, where he played 118 games for the Midlands outfit, the most appearances he has made for a single club in his career.

However, in July 2011, Carson completed a move to Turkish side Bursaspor for £2m and managed to pick up a runners-up medal for their Turkish Cup final run during his spell abroad.

But just over three years ago, Carson flew back to England to sign for Championship outfit Wigan Athletic for £700,000.

However, following the Latics’ relegation to League One, Carson was handed another shot in the second-tier of English football with Derby County in June 2015.

Since then, Carson has kept 28 clean sheets in 61 appearances for The Rams, including a shutout against Leeds back on October 15, where Johnny Russell scored the only goal of the game to inflict a 1-0 loss on Garry Monk’s men.

Lucas Radebe

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!

Michael Duberry

Another solid and sizeable centre-half, having joined Leeds from Chelsea in June 1999 for £4.5m.

However, the now 41-year-old never really made the grade at Elland Road, after making just 67 appearances for the club until 2005, a year after the club’s relegation from the top-flight, before he instead became a firm fans favourite at Stoke City.

Duberry became club captain at the Potters, playing almost 100 games for the club, which impressed Reading in January 2007, who offered him a return to the Premier League.

After failing to score in 57 games for the Royals, he was released from the Madejski Stadium in May 2009, before spells at Wycombe Wanderers, St Johnstone, Oxford United and non-league Hendon followed.

Nowadays, Duberry has dipped into the sports media industry and has regularly contributed towards Sky Sports features.

Frazer Richardson

The second player of Leeds’ 2004 Premier League squad still plying his trade in professional football, right-back Richardson.

Now 34, the defender is featuring for Doncaster Rovers in League Two, having appeared six times in all competitions so far this season.

Richardson stayed at Elland Road until the summer of 2009, enduring the devastating blow of Leeds being relegated to League One.

But after more than 160 appearances for the Whites, the defender completed a move to fellow League One outfit Charlton Athletic, where he suffered heartbreak in the Play-Off Final to Swindon Town.

The following summer, Richardson secured a switch to Southampton, where he enjoyed unprecedented success.

The full-back was part of the Saints squad that won remarkable back-to-back promotions from League One and then the Championship, rising back into the Premier League after a personal eight-year absence.

But just seven appearances in all competitions during the 2012-13 term saw Richardson seek pastures new in the summer, joining Middlesbrough and then Rotherham United the following year.

After another three campaigns in the Championship; Richardson opted for another Yorkshire outfit in his experienced career, signing for League Two Doncaster back in August on an initial two-month deal, although his current contract now expires at the end of this month.

Cue retirement?

Dominic Matteo

The versatile defender/midfielder ditched Leeds almost immediately after their dip into the Championship, agreeing a three-year deal with Premier League side Blackburn Rovers.

Now 42, the former Scotland international made 29 appearances in his opening campaign at Ewood Park, but played just another six times for Rovers before joining Stoke City on a free transfer in January 2007.

Matteo’s experience paid dividends when Tony Pulis made the Scot his captain for the 2007-08 term, where Stoke won promotion back to the Premier League.

Since retiring from the game in 2009, Matteo earned some UEFA qualification badges whilst with the Potters, before returning to Elland Road as Leeds’ Football Ambassador.

However, he left his position in the summer of 2014 following the arrival of Massimo Cellino.

Gary Kelly

One man. One club. One legend.

The right-back spent the entirety of his professional career at Elland Road, featuring for Leeds United between 1992 and 2007, playing over 530 games for the Whites.

The ex-Republic of Ireland international, who starred at the 1994 and 2002 FIFA World Cup finals, played twice during the 1991-92 season, a term in which Leeds won the final First Division title before the introduction of the Premier League, but he failed to qualify for a winner’s medal!

In February 2006, against Luton Town, Kelly celebrated becoming only the tenth player to ever make over 500 appearances for the Yorkshire outfit.

Having retired come the end of the season, aged 32, Kelly has since endured a spell in amateur football with Drogheda Town back in his homeland.

Oh, but he can be found on Twitter here!

Maybe we should ask him what he is up to nowadays…

Ian Harte

Another Irishman, Harte left Leeds following their relegation from the top-flight after more than 280 appearances for the Whites since 1996.

Now 39; the left-back opted for La Liga side Levante following Leeds’ financial crisis, but suffered relegation back down to the Segunda Division during his debut term, only to celebrate an instant return to the Spanish top-flight the following season after nailing down a first-team spot at left-back.

Harte helped Levante finish 15th in La Liga upon their return, preserving their top-flight status for the following term.

However, new manager Abel Resino arrived and immediately admitted the Republic of Ireland star was surplus to requirements in Valencia, seeing the defender agree to terminate the remaining 12 months on his contract.

Nevertheless, his spell in Spain proved profitable as fellow Irishman Roy Keane lured the full-back to the Premier League once more with Sunderland.

Though, his Black Cats career lasted eight games, as he was transfer listed just months later in January 2008, before being released in the summer.

Spells at Blackpool, Carlisle United, Reading and AFC Bournemouth followed, including being part of the Royals and Cherries squad that won promotion to the Promised Land in 2012 and 2015.

But upon Bournemouth’s rise to the Premier League, Harte was released by manager Eddie Howe and subsequently retired from the game.

Harte is now a football agent, with one of his clients being Leeds’ youth prospect, Tyler Denton.

Jason Wilcox

Winger Wilcox was another to depart Leeds after their relegation and financial woes of 2004, joining Leicester City on a free transfer.

After more than 100 appearances for the Whites, including six goals, Wilcox was a key figure in helping the Yorkshire side reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League in 2000 and 2001 respectively.

However he was restricted to just 20 games for the Foxes due to a horrific cruciate ligament injury in October 2004, before joining Blackpool in January 2006.

Now 45, the former England international joined the commentary staff at BBC Radio Lancashire, before being appointed Under-18 manager at Manchester City.

But, since Pep Guardiola’s arrival at the Etihad Stadium, Wilcox has been promoted to head of Academy coaching.

Alan Smith

A high profile, and profitable, departure following Leeds’ 2004 demotion to the Championship, as Smith sealed a £7m move to Premier League giants Manchester United.

The ex-England international scored 11 goals in 92 appearances for the Red Devils until 2007, where he won the 2006 League Cup final and lifted the 2007 Premier League title under the legendary management of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Smith, now 36, then sealed a £6m transfer to Newcastle United in August 2007, where he eventually helped the Magpies achieve promotion back to the Premier League in 2010.

Following a successful loan spell, the midfielder opted to join League One club Milton Keynes Dons on a permanent deal in the summer of 2012, after being released from St James’ Park.

But after two years working with boss Karl Robinson, which included three goals in 83 games for Smith, the former Leeds star was released.

Since then, Smith has been plying his trade with Notts County in League Two, where he has made 10 appearances in all competitions for The Magpies so far this campaign.

James Milner

Undoubtedly the most successful star to flourish after Leeds United’s last Premier League line-up.

Milner, 30, has since become a key midfielder for both club and country after leaving Elland Road for Newcastle United in July 2004.

Renowned as a midfield engine for his relentless work rate, the Whites youth graduate played over 130 times for the Magpies until 2008, before agreeing a hefty £12m deal with Aston Villa.

However, 20 goals for the Villans in two seasons saw big-spenders Manchester City chase his signature, in which they finally landed in August 2010 for a reported £26m.

With over 200 games under his belt for City, Milner won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the League Cup and a FA Community Shield at the Etihad Stadium.

But upon the expiration of his contract; the former England international, having won 61 caps and represented the Three Lions at the 2010 World Cup, Euro 2012, 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016, Milner wanted a new challenge and joined Premier League rivals Liverpool on a free transfer in June 2015.

The 30-year-old has since scored 12 times in 60 games for the Reds, including five strikes in 15 games in all competitions under boss Jurgen Klopp so far this term.

Salomon Olembe

And finally, Olembe!

What… What do you mean you don’t remember him?!

Actually, you are forgiven. Now 36, the forward surprisingly started against Chelsea on the last day of the 2003-04 season, despite failing to score for Leeds in his 12 outings.

The Cameroon international had arrived at Elland Road on loan from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille, but failed to make an impression in Yorkshire, before heading back to France following the Whites’ relegation.

The winger netted just one goal in over 80 games for Marseille, before finally leaving the Stade Velodrome in 2007 for fellow English outfit Wigan Athletic, where he once again failed to find the back of the net.

Olembe lasted a few months with the Latics before completing a move to Turkish side Kayserispor, before then finishing his career with Greek club Larissa in 2010.

Since then, the Cameroonian endured a trial at now Premier League outfit Burnley, as well as oddly featuring for Manchester City in a reserve match!

After that, it is fair to say, it has been hard to track Olembe’s whereabouts…
