It is 19 years to the day since Leeds United triumphed emphatically over Belgian giants Anderlecht in their own ground, coming out with a 1-4 win in the Champions League group stages.

The turn of the millennium saw Leeds United fighting on all fronts under David O’Leary, with his young side impressing both domestically and on the continent.

They entered the 2000/01 campaign looking to translate their immense league form into the Champions League and were faced with the tough task of travelling to Anderlecht, a side that had won their last nine European clashes on home soil.

However, Leeds were unstoppable as they sauntered to the quarter-finals of the competition with two games left to play as they thumped the Belgian side 1-4.

Two goals from Alan Smith either side of a Mark Viduka strike put the Whites 3-0 up inside the first-half before Ian Harte’s 81st-minute penalty made it 1-4 to the travelling side. A nine-yard controlled volley from Smith set Leeds on their way before a lofted header from Viduka put Leeds in dreamland.

Leeds added a stunning third when some brilliant play in the midfield saw Smith clean through on goal, to which he calmly scooped the ball over the onrushing ‘keeper into an empty net. Harte added the gloss with a cool penalty to send the Anderlecht stopper the wrong way.

A massive high moment in the history of Leeds in a season that produced many moments of that calibre. Times have since been harder for Leeds as they still pick up the pieces of financial ruin laid on the club by chasing glory.

Andrea Radrizzani and Marcelo Bielsa have since looked to bring back some more positive times and look like doing so, regardless of the end result of this season, but look more on course than ever to end their 16-year wait for Premier League football.

The anniversary of this date sparked a lot of nostalgia about some better times at Elland Road, with some wondering what certain players would be like in this current system...

Are these Leeds United facts true or false?
