Leeds United were on the receiving end of the biggest upset of the FA Cup so far with League 2 side Crawley Town FC beating the Premier League side 3-0.
They were absolutely smashed by the side who currently sit 6th in the League 2 but that isn’t the most embarrassing part of the day for Marcelo Bielsa and Leeds fans as The Only Way Is Essex star and TV personality Mark Wright made his debut for Crawley town today.
Many were expecting Mark to make his debut against weaker opposition to boost his confidence with the player only recently coming back into the world of professional football but Crawley manager John Yems has really disheartened Bielsa and his men.
Mark Wright makes his Crawley debut!
