Leeds United have more than rode their Luck this term...and its all down to the man they call Midas. Dean 'Midas' Maynard is backing Leeds this season and the evidence is there for all to see. Unbeaten in 13 League matches. Scored 7 winning goals in the last minute of matches. Leyton Orient's goal that was not given but was clearly over the line.
Marcus Stewart's open goal miss for Yeovil two weeks ago.
 
Every forum you read makes comments on Leeds's luck, here is one comment wrote after the Orient Game
"think we still may be in lucky charm spell,as there "goal" near end showed, We,ve had a lot of luck so far this season! and how"
