DANIEL FARKE celebrated Hollywood star Will Ferrell's big investment in Leeds with a classic demonstration of Elf 'n' safety.
Goalless scuffles with £200million of promotion loot on the line are rarely the stuff of riveting entertainment, but a textbook shut-out on his old stomping ground was music to Farke's eyes and ears.
And with Ferrell (circled) - who played the title role in hit Christmas movie Elf - on the way to the boardroom at Elland Road, Leeds will be favourites to reach Wembley.
But Farke isn't shouting the odds yet. Leeds have never been promoted via the play-offs after losing two finals (against Watford and Doncaster), two semi-finals (against Millwall and Derby) and the inaugural high-wire joust with Charlton 37 years ago.
Farke (left), who twice led Norwich to the Championship title, was warmly applauded by both sets of fans afterwards.
