Tribute planned for 'life and soul' figure at home game with 'Toon'

Whites supporters will have the chance to pay their respects to a fellow fan, Elland Road regular and makeshift pub landlord with a minute's applause during the 49th minute of Saturday's meeting with Newcastle United.

Paul, 49, passed away the day before Leeds kicked off their 2025/26 campaign with a 1-0 win over Everton. He was engaged to partner Vicky, was a father of two - Joe, 33, and Callum, 25-a grandfather, a son and the younger brother of Dave Wood.

He was also a massive Leeds fan. So much so that when pubs were closed during Covid he brought the pub home, building from scratch a makeshift bar which was brilliantly named 'There's No Place I'd Radebe'. It's now become a regular spot for family and friends to watch their club in action.
