Leeds United went onto their Premier League clash against Middlesbrough at Elland Road in March 1996 on the back of a painful 3-0 Coca Cola Cup final defeat against Aston Villa at Wembley. And the pain was to continue for the Elland Road faithful as a Graham Kavanagh penalty after just four minutes proved the difference. Captain Lucas Radebe ended up between the sticks for the majority of the second half after a game ending injury to goalkeeper John Lukic.

The Whites only won one of their remaining eight Premier League games that campaign as they finished in 13th position and Howard Wilkinson was sacked early the following season.
