Leeds United legend Norman Hunter has passed away aged 76 after losing his battle with covid-19 this morning.
The former centre-back made his debut for the Whites as an 18-year-old in 1962, going on to make 726 appearances for the side.
Hunter won two league titles with Leeds, a League Cup and the F.A Cup and was a key member of the Three Lions’ 1966 World Cup winning squad.
Given the Elland Road outfit’s recent struggles and fall from the top of English football, the Whites legend was eagerly looking forward to seeing them return to the top-flight, talking about it being his dream last October.
