Leeds United fans react as South Stand will be named in honour of Norman Hunter

Leeds United have announced on their official website that the South Stand at Elland Road will be named in honour of legendary defender Norman Hunter.

The legendary Leeds defender lost his life after a brave battle with coronavirus last Friday aged 76.

The football fraternity has paid their respect on social media during the lockdown phase, while his passing away has left a massive hole in the Leeds family.

Hunter made 726 appearances for the Whites over a 14 year period from 1962-1976 and was a key player during the club’s most successful era to date.
