Leeds United' s 3-2 win against Newcastle United at Elland Road in September 1999 will not only be remembered for victory against a rejuvenated Magpies but also for an impressive home debut of a new signing - midfielder Eirik Bakke who had joined the club from Sogndal for £1.75 million. "A star was born as Leeds United went Bakke to the future..." read the intro of Phil Rostron's match report, with the fourth par adding an insight into things to come: "The tall, dark-haired Scandinavian possesses an air of nonchalance belied by unrelenting determination, an unswerving commitment in the tackle and a finely-tuned eye for an opportunity, emerging as a player who will take high ranking in manager David O'Leary's squad system."
