A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from their club showing a goal Ian Harte scored against Manchester United.
In 2002 on the 30th of March, the Leeds left-back scored a goal in a match that ended 4-3 to the Red Devils.
The video released by the Whites shows Harte lining up his free-kick (0:12) before whipping the ball delightfully over the wall and beyond Fabien Barthez and into the top corner. (0:21)
This has led to some Leeds fans gushing over the goal.

Other Whites supporters, though, are focusing on Harte rather than the goal.
Harte had a left foot as sweet as Beckham’s right but never got the credit he deserved.

Ian Harte, better than Beckham because he could pass a moving ball with accuracy. Beckham could only place a dead ball.

Can you give Douglas a few tips to get his free kick mojo flowing?

What do we think?
Harte made 268 appearances for Leeds and scored 34 goals – which we think for a left-back is a good effort.
Do you like this footage of Harte?
Yes, what a great goal
No, good goal but we still lost
He departed the club in 2004 to move to Levante, he then came back England to play for various clubs before ending his career with Bournemouth in 2015.
This goal was some effort, and judging by some of the responses, many Leeds fans rated both the goal and Harte.
