A group of more than 100 Leeds United supporters will embark on a walk from Flintshire to Elland Road next week in memory of Gary Speed. This year marks 11 years since his passing, the number worn by the midfielder during his time with the Whites.
Having played for Leeds between 1984 and 1996 and winning the First and Second Division with the club, he will always be considered a Leeds legend and the club mark the anniversary of his death every year. Last November – a decade on from his passing - the players wore ‘Remembering Gary Speed’ t-shirts at the Amex Stadium ahead of the game against Brighton.
Now, a group of supporters are preparing for the 92-mile walk between Speed’s birthplace, Flintshire, and Elland Road, home of the team he made more than 300 appearances for. It will take place between Thursday, May 26 and Sunday, May 29.
