But the youth system at the Whites is not simply just a conveyor belt of talent to be sold.An incredible statistic discovered by Twitter account @lufcstats has proved managers at the club give youth a chance.The last time Leeds United fielded a side without an academy graduate was on December 15, 2009 in a Johnstone’s Paint Trophy game against Accrington Stanley.In the club’s 100-year history, they haveplayed 4508 games and named an academy player in 4504 of them.Friday night’s victory over Derby County saw recent graduates Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Jack Clarke start the game.Goals from Kemar Roofe and Jack Harrison gave the Whites a 2-0 win and means they have a four point lead over Sheffield United at the top of the table.
