Leeds great Gordon Strachan was delighted to address the players this week.
Strachan was invited to speak to the squad by manager Sam Allardyce ahead of Sunday's finale against Tottenham. Only victory will offer Leeds any chance of staying up.
"Sam called and asked me to go and talk to the players at Leeds," Strachan told the Daily Mail.
"What a pleasure it was. To talk to them and watch them train in the sun, to see good players at work. I was never going to say no to that invitation.
"I had a chat with them at Sam's request and what I said is private. But what I do know is that if they can keep Leeds in the top division this weekend it could end up being one of the best days of their lives. In some ways, it's just as memorable as winning things.
