Former Leeds United forward Michael Bridges has been the subject of some discussion on Twitter recently. @LUFCHistory posted some footage of a goal scored by the now-retired striker at Goodison Park versus Everton.

Bridges played the ball out to the right before receiving it back and after one touch to control it, from the edge of the penalty area he fired home leaving the goalkeeper with no chance and here is what the fans have had to say about it.

No

What do we think?

It’s clear from the responses that the Leeds United faithful remain highly appreciative of Michael Bridges’ talents and believe that had it not been for injuries, he could have gone on to much bigger and better things.

He made 76 appearances for the Whites, during which he scored 21 goals (via Transfermarkt.co.uk). Having joined from Sunderland in 1999 for £6.75m, his Leeds United career came to an end in July 2004 when he signed for Bolton on a free transfer.

Bridges finished his career in Australia with the Newcastle United Jets where he retired in 2014.
