Sad to hear that a top Leeds boy - known to many of us simply as "Sheridan / Shez" since the 1980's and beyond. A highly popular Selby White of the day - one of Heidi's troopers on the Voyager and a Face among Faces since. All we ask is to be remembered.

My lad when United came out last night. Went to the Blackpool game at York & been to ER before for the Leeds women's game but first time with a decent crowd & a bit of noise.
Eyes nearly popped out when the East Stand stood up as one like a wave, bless him (he's only 5!) 😍

It is with deep regret and a heavy heart that we have to inform you of the passing of our much loved friend and colleague Wendy Fulthorpe.
Our thoughts are with her family at this most difficult time.

A quick update on young Max, who I think you might hear more about in the coming days.
An excited 10 year old, took an accidental fall in the stand at Deepdale 45 minutes before kick off.
Serious abdominal injuries similar to car crash impact, now stable over in Manchester.
👀👇
One of our junior members suffered a serious accident in the ground today and is in HDU in Manchester.
None of our adults saw the incident - if anybody witnessed what happened to cause what appears to be a fall, we would appreciate a private message to pass to his parents.

Don't often comment after games or criticise the Twitter fraternity but F me, there are a lot of clueless Leeds (supposed) fans on here. Recently they slagged young Messlier off & tonight it's Shack, who I personally thought had a good game.

Rest in Peace Kevin Speight & Chris Loftus. Sleeping among legends. 💛🤍💙

I wonder if this guy knew his childish rant outside Elland Road would lead to a lifetime of ridicule for himself & Boro. Can't imagine his fellow fans have much sympathy, he wants fame & brought on infamy. Who doesn't have a little chuckle every time you see his chubby face? 😂
