Morning Leeds-in for 25 January: Leeds to celebrate the life of Toby Nye before Norwich match

Leeds United will celebrate the life of young Toby Nye before the match against Norwich City at Elland Road.

Per the club’s official website:

Leeds United Football Club will be celebrating the life of Toby Nye at the Championship fixture against Norwich City on Saturday 2 February.

Any fans wishing to bring flowers to remember the youngster, who had a very special bond with the club, should leave them at the Billy Bremner statue outside Elland Road on the day of the game.

Our players will wear black armbands and a minute of applause will be held to honour Toby ahead of kick-off.

Liam Cooper had a wonderful relationship with the boy, and Leeds United fans will provide a guard of honour for the boy’s funeral procession.

RIP Toby.
