Archie Gray only spent one season in the first-team at Leeds United, but left an everlasting impact.
Gray, who burst onto the Leeds scene at the age of just 17, took everyone by surprise.
His £40m sale to Tottenham was deserved after proving that he’s clearly above Championship level, even if he’s still adjusting to the Premier League.
Daniel Farke managed Gray effectively, so he can reap his rewards now, as the defender is likely to have a big impact under Thomas Frank at Spurs.
But during his time at Elland Road, he played with some talent; however, only one could make the cut in his five-a-side team.

Archie Gray’s ‘dream five-a-side’ includes former Leeds United star
Despite leaving the club, it doesn’t mean the youngster has stopped supporting his club, as Gray was spotted watching Leeds at Oxford United.
He had a tough first season at Spurs, as the majority of the time he was out of position at centre-back, but Gray ended it in style with a Europa League triumph.

With Spurs’ injury troubles behind them and a new, exciting manager on board, the Leeds academy graduate can now thrive in his true position of central midfield.
Former Whites loanee Djed Spence thinks the ‘sky is the limit’ for Gray, and the 19-year-old returned the favour by including the full-back in his ‘dream five-a-side’ alongside another former Leeds star.
“Djed Spence, feel like he’d be really good in five-a-side,” Gray said to RisingBallers.
“(Crysencio) Summerville. He would be a joke in five-a-side.”
The two former Leeds players were alongside Gray’s Tottenham teammates, James Maddison, Heung-Min Son, and Guillemi Vicario.

Leeds could be keeping one eye on Gray’s situation this season
It’s obvious that fans would take Gray back in a heartbeat.
Spurs fans want Gray loaned to Leeds as Frank might lay out some new plans for the youngster.
If the required game time doesn’t come for the youngster, January could be a time for him to return to Elland Road on loan briefly, which could improve him and help Frank with his development.
There is no doubt that if the choice presents itself that Gray would take this, being an admirer of the Leeds faithful.
Farke certainly will be keeping one eye on the youngster next season, as it could either be the making of Gray or a possible return to Yorkshire.
