2. David Batty
The success of Leeds United seems directly correlated to whether David Batty is on the books. The combative midfielder helped the club to the First Division title, before joining Blackburn Rovers in 1993. The England star returned to Elland Road in 1998 and proved vital to Leeds’ last hurrah, adding much-needed steel and experience to a young squad and helping David O’Leary’s side to the Champions League semi-finals in 2001.
