Leeds United nostalgia has been whipped up around a deep-lying midfielder but it's not Kalvin Phillips that Elland Road is currently yearning for.
Life in football moves at such speed that it never takes very long for a dreamy nostalgia to set in around people or events. Take Gaetano Berardi, who was back at Elland Road for Easter Monday's clash with Hull City. It's less than three years since Leeds United confirmed the Swiss defender would be leaving the club, but so much water has passed under the bridge in the intervening period that he already represents an altogether different era. One of yesteryear's men.
On a night of nerves, tension and no little emotion, an early goal is always a good idea and Leeds were 1-0 up inside 10 minutes. Georginio Rutter's magic, Crysencio Summerville's partially-saved shot and Byram's follow-up header at the back post allowed Elland Road to settle into a familiar and comforting scenario. And though Farke's greed for goals is obvious, so too is his demand for control.
