Jonathon Douglas   Real name Jonathon Douglas   Height 6'0"   Weight 173lbs   Date of birth 22 Nov 1981   Place of birth Monaghan   Position Midfielder   Nationality Irish   Int. Caps 2   Signed on 31 Aug 2006   Fee n/a   Term n/a   Squad number 20 Jonathan was originally signed on loan on the same day that we sold Matthew Spring to Watford at the start of the 2005-06 season. He started in the 2-0 League Cup victory over Oldham and his home debut was in the 3-3 draw with Brighton (10/9/05) in which he scored the sensational added-on-time equaliser. He played over 40 games during the season culminating in the disappointment of the play-off final in Cardiff. After which game he returned to Blackburn Rovers. Nothing was heard of him on the transfer front until the deadline day, 31 August 2006 when Jonathon signed a three year permanent deal with Leeds United. Last Update: 1 Sept 2006

Shaun Derry of Leeds United   Shaun Derry   Real name Shaun Derry   Height 5.10   Weight 10.13   Date of birth 06 Dec 1977   Place of birth Nottingham   Position Midfielder   Nationality English   Int. Caps None  Signed on 18 Feb 2005   Fee Undisclosed   Term 2½ years   Squad number 21 The signing of Shaun Derry was a direct sign of the huge change that had come over the wreck that was Leeds United AFC. We attempted to sign him back in November 2004 but the Board that saved Leeds from administration struggled and ultimately failed to come up with the finance needed to complete the deal. Humiliation followed as the deal had already been made public and the player was already training with the Leeds squad! Since those dark days Ken Bates has taken over and, with an infectious confidence now pervading the club, he has provided funds that have enabled Blackwell to finally complete the Derry signing. Shaun signed a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee. As Leeds Utd is once again a private company expect more "undisclosed transfer fees" as Ken Bates keeps his financial cards close to his chest. Last Update: 18 February 2005

Gylfi Einarsson   Gylfi Einarsson Position: Attacking Midfielder Squad Number: 16 International: Iceland full (7 caps at end of Jan 2005) Born 27th October 1978 in Iceland he began as a trainee with KR Reykjavik. Signed on a free transfer from Lillestrom of Norway on 1st Jan 2005. He was brought to the attention of Blackwell by a Scandanavian Leeds fan! A regular scorer for Lillestrom he scored the headed winner against Burnley at Turf Moor on 5th Feb 2005 which was only his third game for Leeds and only his second as a starter! Given the lack of punch from our current strikers his contributions from midfield are much needed. Frank Sinclair of Burnley was also sent off for kicking out at him following a midfield clash in the same game! 6th Feb 2005

Eddie Lewis   Eddie Lewis of Leeds United   Real name Eddie Lewis   Height 5'9"   Weight 167lbs   Date of birth 17 May 1974   Place of birth Cerritos, CA, USA   Position Midfield (Left)   Nationality American   Int. Caps (Goals) 49 (4)   Signed on 24 June 2005   Fee Free   Term n/a   Squad number 11 Eddie Lewis signed for Leeds United from Preston on a free transfer as he was out of contract. In the previous 2004-05 season he had been influential in Preston North End's successful season which saw them reach the Coca-Cola Championship play-off Final, where they lost out to West Ham. Interestingly, he turned down a new contract with Preston because he felt Leeds United offered him a better chance of reaching the Premiership next season. He will play on the left side of midfield.
