'Once a Leeds fan, always a Leeds fan'

Leeds United fan James Glover, who is originally from the Yorkshire city, will be making the trip to Wembley from Colorado in the US with his son Elliott for the Championship play-off final on Sunday.

Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, James said of his connections to the club: "Once a Leeds fan, always a Leeds fan. You can never give that up.

"I've tried to watch football, or soccer as they call it, over here. I'm in New Mexico a lot and there is a team down there I try and go watch but it's just not Leeds. It's always Leeds. It has always been Leeds. I think I remember my first game back in the 80s was against Leicester and that was before the family stand was even built and so I always followed Leeds. We always do, we watch every game.

"With all the American connections last year, it was weird because all of a sudden everyone started following Leeds. So even from a commercial aspect all the American connections from last year and now the American owners, it really helps build the brand over here. It is huge, everyone has a team, the Premier League is massive in the sates."
