Newcastle United midfielder Alan Smith is unsure how Leeds United fans will greet him this weekend.
He played Leeds two years ago at St James' Park and was given a rough reception from the visiting fans and the 30-year-old is braced for a similarly torrid time during the friendly on Sunday.
"I don't know what the reception will be - we played them at St James' Park two seasons ago and I got a bad one then, so I am expecting the same at Elland Road," he said.
"I have been back to watch games but never as a player. It is not something I have really wanted to do to be honest."
He told the Evening Chronicle: "I have a great affiliation with the club, they brought me through. I was an academy player and a senior player when I left.
"I am not going to go into details as to the destination I went to. I don't want to touch on it. People will express how they feel and I know that.
"I hope that whatever happens people have seen when I'm playing I am giving it everything."
