Everyone at Leeds United were truly heartbroken to learn of the passing of young supporter Bob.

Whilst bravely fighting against cancer, Bob’s heartwarming smile and infectious laugh was incredibly inspiring, with the six-year-old meeting the club’s first team squad and spending time with his heroes.

Bob proudly went out with the team ahead of our pre-season friendly with Valencia CF, accompanying his favourite player Illan Meslier onto the pitch.

The two would reunite shortly afterwards, when Bob and his family were invited to Thorp Arch for a behind-the-scenes tour.

Spending more time with the players and Daniel Farke, Bob’s courage and happiness despite his ongoing battle touched the hearts of everyone connected with the club.

We would like to encourage supporters to come together and join in a minute’s applause in the sixth minute of Saturday’s match against Burnley, to celebrate the life of a true inspiration and member of the Leeds United family.

RIP Bob, you will always have a place in our hearts.
