THE LUFC DIARIES had the opportunity to speak with Lucas Radebe ahead of the Yorkshire clash with Barnsley FC. Lucas was looking forward to the game because he would be facing his old South Africa teammate Eric Tinkler. Life for Radebe was good after receiving rave reviews for his form under the tutelage of George Graham. During Howard Wilkinson's reign, Radebe was just a Leeds squad member going nowhere but Graham changed all that and turned him into a world class defender who was wanted by big clubs across Europe. Lucas revealed to us that his first couple of years at Leeds was tough because he missed his family back home in Sowato and had to deal with spells of being homesick. A man who took a bullet in his back in Sowato wasn't going to give up on his dream of being a superstar for Leeds in the Premier League and thank god he didn't.
