Leeds United are pleased to announce that club legend Lucas Radebe will be our special guest at the Sheffield United fixture.

The Whites take on the Blades in an exciting Yorkshire derby at Elland Road on Friday 18th October, as the teams battle it out under the lights in West Yorkshire.

A towering central defender, Radebe played over 250 times for Leeds, gaining the nickname of ‘The Chief’ for his commanding performances whilst wearing the captain’s armband.

Also a proud South African, he played for his country in their first international match after the Apartheid in 1992, going on to play 70 times for Bafana Bafana.

Now at the age of 55, Radebe’s legacy continues to this day in the city of Leeds.

We are delighted to welcome Lucas back to Elland Road and he will be brought out onto the pitch at half-time in front of the fans, so please give him a huge welcome!

We all look forward to you coming back, Chief!
