Leeds United boss Sam Allardyce welcomed club legends Eddie Gray and Gary McAllister to first-team training at Thorp Arch on Tuesday.
The Whites are going through a crisis situation and are favorites to be relegated from the Premier League on Sunday.
A win on the final day of the season combined with a loss for Everton, along with Leicester City not matching their result, would be required for the Whites to ensure survival.
Motivation is, therefore, one of the most important factors needed inside the Leeds dressing room as well as on the training ground.
Ahead of the match, the veteran Leeds manager welcomed familiar faces to the training ground to boost spirits.
The duo spoke with the players as they continued with the final leg of their preparation for the big encounter against Tottenham Hotspur.
An unfavorable outcome on the final day of the season will end Leeds United’s three-year stint in the top flight.
Leeds’ last win came early last month at home against Nottingham Forest.
They have since lost six and drawn two of their previous eight matches.

Leeds United Yet To Make Firm Move On New DOF
Leeds United is yet to take a concrete step to bring in a new director of football, according to The Athletic.
Victor Orta was shown the door by Leeds earlier this month after he came in for criticism for the club’s recruitment last summer and the appointment of managers.
The Spaniard played a huge part in getting them promoted but eventually paid the price for bad recruitment, which has left Leeds in the relegation zone this season.
Leeds is yet to bring in anyone to fill the void ahead of a summer where they are expected to be busy on player transfers if they are relegated on the final day of the season.
It has been claimed that the Whites are yet to take any firm steps towards appointing a new director of football.
Norwich City’s Stuart Webber, a lifelong Leeds fan, is believed to be one of the options the club is looking at.
Middlesbrough’s Kieran Scott is also being considered but for the moment, no decision has been made.
With no director of football in place, Leeds is staring at a rocky summer transfer window where there is expected to be upheaval if they drop down to the Championship.
