Leeds United were delighted to welcome television legend Jeff Stelling at Elland Road on Tuesday evening as he marches across the country for a fourth time, all in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.

After raising more than £1m walking across the UK in 2016, 2017 and 2019, the long- serving Sky Sports presenter has returned to take on four walking marathons in four regions, with his second march taking place in Yorkshire on Tuesday.

The route started at League Two side Harrogate Town and finished at Elland Road with a poignant stop at Kirk Deighton Rangers AFC in Wetherby along the way.

The club was home to Yorkshireman Lloyd Pinder, who sadly died of the disease last year after striking up a firm friendship with Stelling after meeting him on his first marathon march, ironically on the road to Leeds. The walkers also stopped off at Headingley, home of the Yorkshire Cricket Club and Leeds Rhinos before the final stretch to Elland Road.

Jeff  headed to Merseyside today and his March for Men finishes up in London on Saturday 4th September by which time he would have walked 100 miles in a week.

The aim of his fundraising efforts is to help fund lifesaving research that will improve testing, treatments and care for those affected by the most common cancer in men.

Jeff said: “One in eight men in the UK will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. I deal in stats, but that one still shocks me. This is our Dads, partners, brothers, grandads, uncles and friends.

“That’s why I wear the Prostate Cancer UK ‘Man of Men’ badge. That’s why we’ve marched across the UK three times, helping raise more than £1m for crucial research to beat prostate cancer. As ever we’ll visit some iconic clubs and I have a few familiar faces joining me along the way.

“Last year, we lost the great Ray Clemence to prostate cancer. A terrific goalkeeper and a terrific human being.

“I also lost my mate, Lloyd Pinder, to the disease a few months earlier. I met him on the second day of my very first march for Prostate Cancer UK up in Yorkshire. This highlights once more what an indiscriminate disease this is, and it’s for men like Lloyd and Ray, their families and everyone affected by prostate cancer that we march again.”
