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 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 took over and Shaun signed a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee. Unfortunately, Derry fell out with Dennis Wise and was sidelined. Eventually Derry returned to Crystal Palace. In 2008 he missed the chance of a return to Elland Road with Palace in the Carling Cup 2nd round as he was typically serving a ban. He may have been glad as Neil Warnock's team were battered 4-0. Last Update: 27 August 2008
