531 appearances for Leeds United, 52 Ireland Caps, 1994 Premier League team of the season and uncle to one Ian Harte. This week the Boys discuss Leeds United legend Gary Kelly! Debuting under Howard Wilkinson, Kelly became a mainstay in both the Leeds and Ireland teams of the mid to late 1990s. The Boys run through the peak of Kelly's career, his competition for an Ireland and a Leeds shirt and the time Leeds chairman allegedly tried to hire hit men to injury him - all in a days work for a proper Prem legend!
