Leeds United have said farewell to club legend Norman Hunter with a funeral held for the former England man on Saturday following his death from coronavirus .
In a poignant tribute, Hunter’s coffin was carried out of the tunnel at Elland Road for one final time, three weeks after he passed away at the age of 76 after contracting the disease.
The defender, a member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad, will be forever remembered as one of Leeds' all-time best, and was known throughout the game as 'Bites Yer Legs' on account of his fearless approach.
Leeds have named the South Stand at Elland Road in his honour and it is likely the stadium would have been packed out for a public send-off were it not for the ongoing global pandemic.
"One last time for an absolute legend," said current Leeds defender Luke Ayling of the farewell.
