McKenzie was signed from Nottingham Forest by Brian Clough during his 44 day reign as manager of Leeds, and was the only one of his signings to subsequently flourish at the club. Initially, he attracted media attention for his achievements outside of the game, which included the ability to jump over a parked car, and to throw a golf ball the length of a football pitch. However, once established in the Leeds side, he soon attracted attention for the quality of his footballing skills; in the 1975-76 season he established himself as Allan Clarke’s striking partner, and scored 16 goals in 39 matches.
