Brighton vs Leeds: Players you didn’t know played for both teams
Leeds travel to Brighton on Saturday looking for a second consecutive win.
Leeds have failed to win in their last nine visits to Brighton, so they will need to break that spell, if they are to secure victory.
Georginio Rutter is one famous ex-Leeds star who has played for the Seagulls, while James Milner is also another member of that club.
MOT Leeds News looks at players that you may not remember that played for both teams, ahead of the 1 November contest at the AMEX Stadium.
Bradley Johnson
Bradley Johnson signed for Leeds for £250,000 in January 2008, and he became a hero to supporters with his goalscoring exploits from midfield.
He notched 16 goals and 11 assists in 117 appearances for the Whites between 2008 and 2011, and was sent on loan to Brighton in the 2008–2009 season.
Johnson featured 10 times for the Seagulls, with five goals, in a pretty impressive spell on the south coast, and was named as the Peacocks’ Player of the Year for the 2010-11 campaign.
He would leave Elland Road in 2011 to join Norwich City, and also had spells with Derby County and Blackburn Rovers.
Sam Vokes
Sam Vokes joined Leeds on loan in October 2009, when they were in the depths of League One.
The journeyman striker scored just one goal in 8 appearances for the Whites, before returning to his parent club, Wolves, on New Year’s Day.
He joined Brighton on loan in January 2012, and would have better luck on the south coast, with three goals in 14 appearances for them.
Vokes then signed for Burnley, and spent time with Stoke City and Wycombe Wanderers, but he is currently in League Two with Gillingham.
Chris Wood
Chris Wood spent two years with Leeds between 2015 and 2017.
The New Zealand star would make 88 appearances for the LS11 outfit, scoring 44 goals in his time in Yorkshire.
He had already been at Brighton from November 2010 until the end of the 2010-11 season, and scored nine and assisted four in 29 matches.
He then joined Burnley and Newcastle after leaving the Peacocks and has since gone on to become a household name, in his time with Nottingham Forest, and he finished with 20 Premier League goals last season.
