Famous Leeds United fan and James singer Tim Booth makes Jurgen Klopp comparisons after epic Millwall win

Leeds United’s massive comeback win over Millwall has seen fans heaping lots of praise on Marcelo Bielsa and his team.

One of them is celebrity Leeds United supporter Tim Booth, frontman of indie icons James, who was rather taken by what happened at Elland Road on Tuesday evening.

The Whites came from 2-0 down to bag a memorable 3-2 victory which fired Bielsa’s men to the top of the Championship table.

Booth, 59, a lifelong Whites supporter was full of praise for the performance.

He compared the team to current Premier League high-flyers Liverpool and also reminded us all of how much Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola thinks of the Argentine coach.

Here’s what Booth tweeted below

It is fair to say the singer’s comments hit the right note with his followers as many replied with praise for Leeds United’s performance.

Booth spent some time after the match discussing their promotion ambitions online - as everyone got understandably giddy.

Fellow musician Matt Bowman, lead singer of Leeds band The Pigeon Detectives and another of Leeds United's famous fans, was also loving Tuesday night’s victory.

Before the game, he took to social media to ask if anyone might have a spare ticket for the match and the Whites faithful came together to get him into the ground.

Leeds United currently have a four point gap to the play-offs in their quest for automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

On Saturday, they host strugglers Wigan Athletic at home.
