Legendary Leeds United defender and hometown lad Norman Hunter will be remembered at a charity golf day next month to raise funds for Leeds Hospitals Charity to support cancer research. It will be the second event to be held since Hunter’s passing in 2020, after he sadly died after contracting coronavirus.
The World Cup winner passed away aged 76, after he was also diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and was receiving treatment at Leeds Cancer Centre but passed away after contracting Covid. The inaugural event raised £40,000 and funded a major piece of equipment for a leukaemia trial.
The event will be held at Horsforth Golf Club on June 24.
