Chris Fairclough was signed by Howard Wilkinson in 1989 and was
immediately installed at the heart of the defensive line-up that
gained promotion from Division 2 and subsequently went on to win
the Division 1 championship.
In his six years at Elland Road, he was almost ever-present and
immensely popular with the fans, winning the supporters club
'Player of the Year' award in his first full season. His
partnership with Chris Whyte was a key factor in the Championship
win, but with his 30th birthday behind him, he was deemed surplus
to requirements and departed to Bolton.
He must regard himself as very unlucky to never pick up a full
England cap, and stayed in the game - returning to Yorkshire after
spells with Bolton and Notts County - as captain of York City. He
retired through injury in February 2001, but was looking to earn
his UEFA coaching badge in order to progress on that side of the
game.
