Roly Depear was signed from non-league Boston United - a tall
and strong centre half - but only made 5 appearances for Major
Frank Buckley's side. Probably the most significant thing about
Depear's career with Leeds was his departure: he was used in a
part-exchange deal with Newport that brought Harold Williams to
Elland Road. Since Depear had only cost Leeds £500 and was
valued at 16 times that amount a year later as part of the deal, he
proved a very shrewd acquisition by the club.
