Leeds United promotion hero Stuart Dallas has paid a special tribute to Marcelo Bielsa and Whites fans in an emotional open letter to mark the end of his career.

Three years to the day that the Northern Ireland international scored a sensational late winner for 10-man Leeds at Manchester City, Dallas has announced his retirement from the game. An injury sustained in an April 2022 game against Manchester City caused what the 32-year-old has described as 'irreparable' damage, despite numerous surgeries and intensive rehabilitation work.

I’ve been fortunate to work with some outstanding managers, but two in particular I want to pay special thanks to are Marcelo Bielsa and Michael O’Neill. Marcelo’s incredible coaching helped me improve not just as a player, but as a person off the pitch too. Premier League football seemed a million miles away at times, but he made this all possible. These were simply the greatest years of my career and I created memories that I’ll cherish forever.
