Leeds United is a football club supported globally. The Whites have had eras of great success, most notably under the stewardship of Don Revie, who guided the club to two top-flight titles.
As a result of its rich history paired with it being a one-club city, there are many high-profile supporters.
Football FanCast takes a look at some of the most famous Leeds United fans.
1 Nasser Hussain
Perhaps not the most loyal fan, but by his own admission, Nasser Hussain was a Leeds United fan for the first 30 years of his life. The former England cricket captain turned Sky Sports pundit spoke of his connection to the Whites back in 2014.
"For the first 30 years of my life I was a Leeds fan but I switched to Arsenal because I couldn’t bear the thought of taking my kids to lower-division games.
"The Western Terrace at Headingley still think I’m a Leeds fan and give me a cheer and I’m not going to tell them otherwise," Hussain told MailOnline.
That decision won't be too popular amongst Leeds supporters…
2 David Seaman
75-cap England international and Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman is a big fan of Leeds and regularly discusses The Whites during his media work. Seaman was on the books of Leeds as a youngster before moving to Peterborough United for just £6,000!
In 1997, the legendary shot-stopper was awarded an MBE for Services to Sport.
3 Josh Warrington
Two-time world featherweight boxer Josh Warrington is a loud and proud Leeds fan. He walks out to the club's Marching On Together anthem and dons the white, blue and yellow colours on his fight attire. Warrington won his first world title at Elland Road in 2018 after defeating Lee Selby via a split decision to mark a memorable night for the city's native.
4 Ricky Wilson
Keighley-born Ricky Wilson, who is the frontman of rock band Kaiser Chiefs, is known to be a Leeds fan. Wilson became a coach of The Voice UK in 2013 and featured on the Masked Singer earlier this year.
His ties with Leeds are clearly locality-based, like many on this list, as his birthplace lies just 21.9 miles away from Elland Road.
5 Mel B
Mel B, who was born in Leeds, is believed to support her local football team. The Singer rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the Spice Girls. She was nicknamed Scary Spice.
6 Ed Miliband
Former Labour leader Ed Miliband is fan of the West Yorkshire club. His 'About Me' section on Labour's website reads: "In my spare time, I enjoy watching baseball and football, and I am a big fan of both the Boston Red Sox and Leeds United."
Miliband was a pupil at Featherbank Primary in Horsforth, West Yorkshire and His father Ralph was a professor of politics at Leeds University, which might explain the tie.
7 Miniminter
Probably one of the most famous names on this list, 'Miniminter', is a supporter of Leeds United. The hugely successful and popular YouTuber is a member of the Sidemen, of which musician and boxer KSI is apart of.
Simon Minter boasts a following of nearly 20m and is often talking about The Peacocks on social media.
8 Alistair and Jonny Brownlee
Alistair and Jonny Brownlee are Triathlon Olympic gold medalists and are Yorkshire exports. The former was born in Dewsbury whilst the latter in Bramhope, so naturally they are drawn to their birthplace's neighbouring football club.
And more…
9 Matthew Lewis
Matthew Lewis, who starred in the world-famous Harry Potter movies, is a passionate Leeds United and Rhinos fan. The actor played Neville Longbottom and was a Gryffindor student in the film.
He is also a host of the official Leeds United Podcast, which he proudly notes to his 2.5m followers on Instagram.
10 Ralph Ineson
Ralph Ineson, who played Finchy in The Office, is vocal about his love for the West Yorkshire club. His bio on Instagram simply reads: "Acting, dogs, Leeds United."
