Jermaine Beckford reckons another 50 years could go by without him ever getting bored of being asked about his goal against Manchester United.
The 42-year-old was back at Elland Road this week doing Premier League media duties ahead of the latest War of the Roses in LS11. It's no surprise, really, considering that goal. Scoring a winner at Old Trafford affords a kind of immortality. Such moments become songs. They are remembered passionately and vividly for years and years, as Beckford knows and Noah Okafor is sure to discover.
The game Beckford was previewing for the cameras in the East Stand Legends Lounge is perhaps a little more intriguing than others down the years, because of the respective situations the two arch enemies find themselves in. Leeds' only blip, if you can call it that, so far in this league campaign came in a single-goal defeat at the home of the English champions, Arsenal. By contrast, Manchester United's issues have been well documented in a week that began with a draw at home to 10-man Tottenham Hotspur and took them to Spain for a 2-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid.
Leeds have not beaten the foes from across the Pennines in back-to-back encounters since 1972, but are not being described as underdogs for this fixture in the same way as prior to so many previous battles. Some pundits have predicted wins for the Whites. Regardless of what is being said, Beckford believes nothing will alter the mentality as Daniel Farke's men prepare for Sunday's fixture but Leeds could perform even more confidently than last time they faced this opposition.
"I don't think anything has changed in that sense," he said. "I think one of the biggest things that we'll see a difference in is the application and the confidence that the boys are playing with. Unfortunately, against Arsenal, the result wasn't quite right. But you know, when you look at the first 60, 65 minutes of that that game against the reigning Premier League champions, you'd have to argue the performance was fantastic. The application was great. The aggression in terms of getting on the ball, getting in the faces, the 50-50 challenges, we're going toe-to-toe with one of the best in the league.
"So if we're able to do that against one of the best teams again in the league, if we apply ourselves in the exact same way against Manchester United or any other team in the league, we've got a very good chance of coming away with three points. I think that would be the biggest difference and the biggest change from the last time that we've met."
For Beckford, the key to victory is something the players should not find difficult to bring to the occasion - aggression. Controlled aggression is a bedrock of Leeds' game this season. According to Gradient Sports, Anton Stach leads the Premier League in duels going into Sunday. Ethan Ampadu ranks third in the league for 50:50 duels. James Justin is first for dribble defending. As a team Leeds top the division's rankings for pressure leading to inaccurate passes and fourth for ball recoveries. Aggression was part of why Arsenal were so uncomfortable for so long at The Emirates.
"I think it's understanding the strengths and the qualities of the opposition, regardless of who it is, and saying 'Well, if you give these key players time, they'll show their magic, if you get in their faces and make it difficult for them to firstly find a pass into the the more creative players or the guys that are made to score goals, they're going to find it much more difficult.' So I think that's where the aggression comes into it. Getting in the faces of their players nice and early.
"But we're one of the fittest teams in the league. The stats back it up in terms of the overall distances that we cover, the high intensity, breaking into the final third into the 18-yard box. And when you're one of the fittest teams in the league, you know the possibility of scoring goals towards the back end of the games is always there.
"That's where the fans get behind the boys because they know it might be 0-0 in the 85th minute, but the boys are still running their socks off and still look like it's the 30th minute, 40th minute."
While rising expectation might play into the atmosphere at Elland Road in Sunday's early kick-off, this is a game that needs no special circumstances. This is a game Leeds have not won at Elland Road since 2002. Beckford is desperate to see it.
"The biggest thing is the rivalry between the two sides," he said. "I think to get one over Manchester United here for the first time in I don't even know how many years it is, that for me and for the fans I think would mean a lot more than anything else. We just need to beat them."
