Plenty of clubs have famous fans and Leeds are no exceptions, with stars of film, TV, music and football among those who consider Leeds to be their favourite football club.
Some were born in the city, while others have unique reasons for wanting to see the club do well. Although they now compete in the Championship following relegation last season, the global appeal of Leeds remains strong.
The Whites have fans all over the world and it is not uncommon to see fan clubs from Europe, America and beyond visit Elland Road to watch games. Relegation to the Championship did not diminish in-person support and Daniel Farke’s side have been cheered on by a number of sell-out crowds.
Not only do Leeds have famous fans – they also have a number of high-profile investors, including swimming star Michael Phelps.
The Yorkshire Post has taken a look at 26 of the club’s most famous supporters.
