Argentinean striker Luciano Becchio has proved a big hit with the Leeds United fans since his arrival in the summer of 2008.

After meeting the squad in Galway during the club's pre-season tour, where he arrived armed only with a pair of boots, he has gone on to establish himself as a real striking threat.

Luciano's hard working physical style of forward play made the striker a firm favourite with United fans and he scored 19 goals during his first season with the club. He followed that with another 17 goals during the club's promotion winning season from League One.

When Luciano joined the club for the pre-season tour of Ireland in 2008, under the stewardship of Gary McAllister, his previous experience included a stint with Barcelona reserves and an impressive spell with Merida.

The Argentine netted his first goal for the club at Yeovil Town in August after joining for an undisclosed fee and his physical, hard-working approach had earned him 10 goals before Christmas 2008.

He also ended the 2009/10 season with a flourish, scoring five goals in four games as United mounted a final push for promotion.
