As a boyhood Cardiff City fan, I admired Leighton's candid opinions, including his obvious dislike of CCFC.
He was an excellent player, for various top-level clubs. Was also consistently good for Wales, when we had few top level players.
When he returned to Wales, his comments on BBC Wales were often controversial and different. A bit like Keane or Souness, but without their self-aggrandisement.
Well played Leighton...

Some player. He'd have walked into any side back then. RIP.

As a kid I'd always be worried about a player on the opposition team when it came to Maine Road. James was the guy in Burnley's team. Sorry to hear this, a really lovely player.
