Leeds United’s official Twitter account recently shared some footage of a Danny Mills goal in honour of the ex-Whites player’s birthday and this has drawn a positive reaction from some Whites fans.
Many of the Whites fans who have been responding to this post have been sharing praise for Mills and this goal, with one Leeds supporter describing this strike as a “cracking goal”, though a couple of fans did criticise him.
The footage shows Mills carrying the ball from just inside the opposition’s half of the pitch, before playing a one-two with Harry Kewell and going on to score from outside of the box with his left foot.

What do we think?
According to Transfermarkt, Mills only scored three goals for Leeds United during his career and that may make this long-range strike stand out even more in the minds of some Whites supporters. Considering that he wasn’t a player one would typically associate with goals, it may be understandable why some Leeds fans may have some positive memories of this classic strike.
