Image for Leeds: Fans buzz over legend’s tweet

Leeds United fans reacted to a tweet from their former defender Lucas Radebe, who was showing off his craftmanship.

The South African defender played for United over an 11-year spell in Yorkshire which saw him rack up 197 appearances for the club in the Premier League alone.

Radebe shared a picture of him holding up some Leeds embroidery which depicted the club’s emblem.

Leeds have impressed since returning to the top flight this season and Marcelo Bielsa’s side currently sit in 11th place in the league and just two points behind giants Arsenal.

Bielsa’s side suffered defeat in their last league outing against Aston Villa on Saturday, with Anwar El Ghazi’s early goal proving enough for the visitors to take all three points back to Birmingham.

Leeds face tough opposition on Monday night as they travel to London to face in-form West Ham United, who are battling it out for a place in the top four.

And perhaps in the spirit of how their own season has gone so far, Radebe’s tweet was met with a warm welcome from the Leeds fans who will best remember him for playing a huge part in the side which played in the Champions League.

“Best centre half since Big Jack.”
