Where are they now? The last Leeds United team to beat Sheffield United at Elland Road 11 years ago

Leeds United host Sheffield United at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon - but where are the last Whites team who toppled the Blades in LS11?

Leeds United had made a strong start to life back in the Championship in 2010/11 following promotion from League One in the summer prior.

The Whites welcomed Gary Speed's Sheffield United to Elland Road for what would turn into a feisty Yorkshire derby that saw two red cards and a late winner.

It was a Bradley Johnson strike which saw the hosts claim the spoils in a 1-0 win to move up to fifth position after just eight games of the campaign.

Robert Snodgrass - who was a substitute - picked up a second yellow after providing the 84th minute winner with a low cross.

Blades substitute Jamie Ward was also given his marching orders just minutes later for a lunge on Neil Kilkenny, which sparked a hot-tempered fracas between the sides.

The game also saw club legend Lucas Radebe - who was promoting his new book - return for a rare fixture in West Yorkshire as Leeds head coach Simon Grayson got the better of fellow former Whites apprentice Speed at a packed out Elland Road.

Here, we take a look at those players who featured in United's last win over the Blades in LS11 nearly 11 years ago:
