Memories of a forgotten Leeds United Premier League classic

It's the game which many could argue is a forgotten Premier League classic.

Leeds United and Everton played out an eight goal thriller at Goodison Park back in October 1999. The Whites went in to the game on the back of a magnificent club record sequence of 10 wins. And that run could have been extended if it had not been for a stoppage time equaliser by David Weir for the Toffees. "Tired United don't have legs for 11" read the headline on the back page of your Yorkshire Evening Post. Leeds would go on to finished third in the league that season and reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. READ MORE: 16 of the most iconic Leeds United photos of all time
