• Born: 28 October 1980, Wakefield • Signed: 26 May 2004, from Leeds • Fee: £7million • Other Previous Clubs: None • Debut: 8 August 2004 v Arsenal - Charity Shield • International Team: England Yorkshire-born Alan Smith made his emotive transfer accross the Pennines from Leeds to Manchester United on 26 May 2004. There was, of course, the expected vitriol directed at Smith from Leeds fans after such a sensitive switch of allegiances. And some United supporters needed convincing, too. But Smith, with Sir Alex Ferguson impressed by every aspect of his character since joining United, has proved his commitment to the club with his performances - just as he promised on the day he signed.
