Happy birthday to Leeds United cult hero, ex striker lan Baird. lan is best known for his two successful spells as a striker at Leeds United during the 1980s, where he was a fan favourite and cult hero, known for his aggressive and whole-hearted playing style. He had two stints at Elland Road 1985-1987 club captain and 1988-1990, scoring a combined 50 plus. He was named the club’s Player of the Year in 1989. He finished his playing career in Hong Kong with Instant-Dict FC (1997-1998), where he also began his coaching career. lan is now coaching in the UK. I had the great pleasure is speaking to this cult hero again recently. He is doing well and looks great. Have a great day pal. “Gonna Get Ya”.
