Danny Mills names “unplayable” Leeds hero as best striker he’s played with

How does this make you feel?



Danny Mills has praised one of his former Leeds United teammates as “unplayable”, and it’s a striker who could have excelled alongside the current star attackers playing under Daniel Farke.

Those at Elland Road are aiming to secure promotion from the Championship back to the Premier League this season and are currently in a favorable position to do so.

Farke has turned Leeds’ fortunes around since his arrival in the summer, solidifying the defense and creating an exciting attacking front four. Standout performers this season include Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, who have played crucial roles in the team.

Additionally, summer signing Joel Piroe has impressed in front of goal, with contributions also coming from Dan James, Wilfried Gnonto, and Patrick Bamford.

One player who would have thrived in this current team in his prime is Mark Viduka, with the Australian receiving recent praise from Mills.

Speaking to Football FanCast on behalf of 888 Sport, Mills was asked about the best striker he’s played with and against, with Viduka mentioned in his response.

“Mark Viduka on his day was unplayable. Did not move, didn’t run, but didn’t need to, he just needed a partner. Robbie Fowler was the best finisher that I’ve ever seen in terms of ability to score all different goals. When he came to Leeds he was injured, he had a bad hip. But obviously when he was at Liverpool in his prime was scoring for fun.

“If you look at the Champions League run that we had, I played against Shevchenko and Bierhoff who were a great partnership at that time, possibly the best strike partnership in the world. You had the Yorke and Cole partnership at Manchester United which was exceptional. At Newcastle, you had Alan Shearer who was an out and out finisher. You had Henry and Bergkamp at Arsenal who were a great pairing.”

Viduka joined Leeds from Celtic in 2000 and enjoyed four successful years at Elland Road before departing for Middlesbrough in 2004.

Viduka made more appearances for Leeds than any other club, scoring 71 goals in 165 games in a Whites shirt. His most memorable game for Leeds was the 4-3 victory over Liverpool, where he scored all four goals in a thrilling Premier League match.

Hopefully, under Farke, Leeds can bring back the good times in the top flight, and they may soon be in the market for a Viduka-like striker to replace Bamford, who is now 30 years old.
