Leeds fans turned their backs for the first minute of play in respect of two supporters who were murdered in Turkey exactly ten years ago today.
The men - Kevin Speight and Chris Loftus - were stabbed in Turkey on the eve of Leeds' UEFA Cup semi-final match with Galatasaray on April 5, 2000. And with the Turks refusing a minute's silence prior to kick-off that night, the Leeds supporters responded with their backs to the action for the first 60 seconds of the tie.
