EASY ON THE EYE

What's been seen regarding Lucas Radebe...

Match reports giving Lucas due credit

Lucas was producing the goods a few years back too, as these reports from Match magazine (March-April 1996) show. Lucas gets three ratings of 8 out of 10, and one of 7, picking up two Man of the Match awards. Despite the fact that Leeds lose all these games, Lucas shows his ability and versatility in playing in net against both Middlesbrough and the Scum. As the report for the Leeds-'Boro game says: "Lucas Radebe produced ... an excellent performance in goal after replacing the injured Lukic after half-time."

Sol Campbell wishing he was Lucas

Sol Campbell is quite clear who the world's best defender is - and it ain't him.

Lucas' sporting play award

Leeds' fans obviously know what they're on about. (That's probably why they support Leeds.) Judging by the report, though, Newcastle fans aren't too clued up when it comes to understanding what 'sporting' means...
