Who are Leeds United’s top ten record goalscorers? Take a look at some of the key figures in the history of the club.

Leeds United are a club steeped in history.

With three First Division championships to their name, along with an FA Cup, a League Cup and two Inter-Cities Fairs cups, the Leeds trophy cabinet is full of brilliant achievements.

That has naturally seen plenty of iconic names through the years wear the badge with pride.

Some of those were great goal scorers, who have set the standard for what it means to be a Leeds legend.

So with that said, here’s a look at the top ten Leeds United record goal scorers of all time, ranked from lowest to highest.

10 – Russell Wainscoat – 93 goals

Russell Wainscoat spent six years with Leeds United, between the years of 1925 and 1931.

The left-forward scored 93 goals in his time with the club, becoming a popular figure with fans during that spell as a regular in the side.

Wainscoat earned one England cap, which came during his spell at Leeds.

John Charles ranks second in Leeds United’s all-time goalscoring charts, having scored 157 goals across two stints for the club in the 1950s and 1960s.
