    Tin hat time, but why not the Revie stand, or the Wilkinson stand, or one of a number of players who had an equally lengthy career/contribution?

    No disrespect to Norman, or his family, friends and other supporters who would agree with the naming of a stand in his name, just saying that Leeds United are fortunate in having a number of candidates with an equally strong case, and whilst we all hate this sh1tty stuff that took him from us, is that enough to put him ahead of those others?

    I'll get me coat........

    No, that is a fair enough point to raise, as I'm sure there are other likely candidates lobbied. Would not be easy weighing them up...particularly for such an important decision based on something for longevity purposes. Be interesting to hear the club's criteria they used to reach that decision.

    A great tribute but perhaps they could dedicate zones to players and refer to them on ticketing

    Think that's a great idea, with profiles on the stands upper edge?

    as someone that did not grow up in Leeds I have to say that Revie, Wilkinson or Bremner were known across the pond even before the days of big TV contracts or the internet.
