History was both made and respected in Elland Road’s first game with the renamed Norman Hunter Stand but the most fitting tribute to Leeds’ late great may come next month. Eight points clear of third-place Brentford with seven games to go, Leeds are on course to end their 16-year exile from the top flight.
One of the biggest games Elland Road has staged in that time was the emptiest, with Marching On Together broadcast from the PA to an audience of 15,000 cardboard cutouts, The piped-in chants of Patrick Bamford’s name were rather louder than those from the supporters at many a match but the much-maligned striker, along with Ezgjan Alioski and Jack Harrison, delivered an ultimately emphatic win.
