Leeds United have announced tribute plans to mark the 23rd anniversary of the tragic passing of supporters Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight.
Loftus and Speight were stabbed in Istanbul on the eve of Leeds' UEFA Cup semi-final tie against Galatasaray in April 2000. Leeds officials have met with members of both the Loftus and Speight families to organise plans to honour their lives.
There will be a minute's silence at Chris and Kev's plaque on the East Stand at 2pm on Wednesday, April 5, which will be attended by members of the families along with their friends and delegates from Leeds United.

There will then be a minute's applause before Leeds' game with Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday, April 9, as well as various other dedications.
“Remembering Chris and Kev and supporting the families who have suffered horrendous injustice over the past 23 years is part of the fabric of Leeds United," Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear said.
"As custodians of the club, we have looked to continue the tradition of marking 5th April each year at Elland Road and working alongside the families.
“After speaking with supporters last year, we want to ensure that we are doing as much as we can to honour Chris and Kev’s memories with a memorial that can be continued throughout the future generations of Leeds United supporters.”
