Leeds United manager Howard Wilkinson parted with a hefty £4.5m to sign him from Parma in 1995, but just four goals arrived in 20 Premier League games as Brolin continuously self-destructed during his time at Elland Road – reportedly ballooning in weight due to his fondness for a good feed. He also failed to score in 13 games for Palace in 1998.
