Pablo Hernandez has only been at Leeds for four years, but he is already something of a hero.
He initially joined on loan from Al Arabi in 2016, making the move permanent on a free transfer in January of the following year, and it is fair to say he has made his presence known. He has 150 appearances in all competitions under his belt for the Whites, scoring 33 goals and providing 36 assists along the way – he managed 12 of each last season alone.
He appears to be aging like a fine wine – he turned 35 on Saturday, yet continues to be one of the club’s best players. To celebrate his birthday, the club’s official Twitter account shared a video of his best 10 goals for the club.

As you can imagine, the club’s fans absolutely lapped the tweet up. They have been reacting in their droves on the social media platform, and you can see some of the best comments below.
A man whose standards are so high that any time he misplaces a pass Leeds fans claim he’s in decline.
Best in the league.

And just about every goal is ‘Leeds are back in it’ or ‘Leeds take the lead’. Not just wonder strikes but important goals too. Giant.

Not many players join a club at 32 years old and create a legacy. Unique and special player.
