With Leeds United’s success on the pitch, it’s worth noting the impact off it as Josuha Guilavogui deserves his plaudits.
The overall feeling around Leeds is a healthy one as the club are making serious moves to return back to the Premier League.
It’s clear that Daniel Farke’s side are pointing in the right direction, and the likes of Manor Solomon and Joe Rodon should be credited for their performances in a crucial stage of the season.
Farke was thrilled with Rodon vs Oxford as the centre-back put in a valiant display to secure three points.
Despite the on-field presence being known, Josuha Guilavogui has provided brilliance off it and has done so by equalling a remarkable record.
Guilavogui has equalled Vinnie Jones record at Leeds United
Although he hasn’t exactly set an incredible standard, Guilavogui’s signing in the summer was still vitally important.
The Leeds boss has a strong admiration for the 34-year-old, as Farke has called Guilavogui ‘unbelievable’ for his presence around the changing room.
It seems to be a known fact that the Frenchman is a big character around the squad, as Guilavogui has nurtured the likes of Wilfried Gnonto.
Although he has only amassed 53 minutes across his 15 Championship appearances, this has now lead to a brilliant achievement which matches former player and football hardman Vinnie Jones.
Jones endured a short but sweet Leeds stint, and Guilavogui has now managed to equal Jones’ 1989 record of being unbeaten in his first 15 games for the Whites.

Farke needs to replicate Guilavogui signing at Leeds
Guilavogui has certainly been a signing that has gone under the radar, but his free transfer from Mainz has proved to be a masterclass.
The morale-boosting midfielder has been a revelation for players’ spirits and despite a lack of game time he makes sure he’s keeping everyone happy.
He’s also seen as a leader, as Guilavogui has given speeches before Leeds’ games, showing his true impact.
But with Guilavogui likely to exit Leeds, Farke now needs to replicate a similar figure in the dressing room, especially with Premier League football on the horizon.
| Position | Team | Played MP | Won W | Drawn D | Lost L | For GF | Against GA | Diff GD | Points Pts |
| 1 |  LeedsLeeds | 43 | 26 | 13 | 4 | 83 | 29 | 54 | 91 |
It’ll be a tough act to follow whoever replaces Guilavogui’s presence, as it has to be said, he’s hands down one of Leeds’ most underrated players.
