Matt Kilgallon was only around fifteen year trainee old at Leeds United when Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink was a first team star, banging in the goals as Leeds lorded it in the top flight.

Now forming a striking partnership with Robbie Fowler for tonight's visitors Cardiff City, JFH will no doubt be an imposing figure on the pitch, especially if he is displeased.

'Killa' recalls: He was a character and you could always tell when he wasn't happy on the pitch by his facial expressions - he didn't have to say much!

"I never trained with him, I was too young, but I watched him a lot and he has to be one of the best that Leeds have ever had. He had strength, an incredibly powerful shot and if a chance came his way it invariably finished up in the net."
