Tributes have been paid to a Leeds United fan who had a vision to get the club's anthem back to the top of the charts in the 2000s.
Dave Whittaker was instrumental in a plan to propel Marching On Together to number one in the charts as the Whites pushed for promotion in 2010.
He joined forces with close friends Ian de Whytell and Kevin Smith to push a digitally remastered version of the song to the top of the pop parade.
Ian de Whytell, owner of Crash Records, recalled: "It was 2010 and as Leeds United were pushing for promotion Dave had the idea that we should try and get Marching on Together to number one in the charts. Coincidentally, myself and Kevin Smith had been discussing exactly that when Dave messaged us with the suggestion.
