Happy birthday to a cult hero here at Leeds United Andrew Hughes, (2007/2011).Andy is widely remembered by fans for his immense work rate, versatility, and dedication during a challenging period in our history. A central midfielder, he frequently played fullback and was nicknamed “Polyfilla” for his ability to fill any gap in the lineup. He was a key part of the squad that achieved promotion to the Championship in 2010. He is celebrated for his “side before self” attitude, famously honoured with the chant “Andy Hughes is f***ing brilliant”. In 2014 he moved into coaching and is currently with Leicester and the Scotland National side. Happy b’d pal
