Leeds United mega fan creates incredible LUFC themed bar bunker underneath garden
A Leeds United mega fan has spent the past three years creating an incredible LUFC themed bunker bar - four metres under his garden.
Jody Wainwright, 40, is dedicated to the Whites and is a season ticket holder at Elland Road.
He has spent the past three years building an unbelievable man cave in his back garden in Ossett - complete with an array of Leeds United memorabilia.
The 50m squared bunker is fitted with an area to watch the matches, a large bar with optics and even a cheeky jibe at rivals Manchester United on the toilet door.
Jody told the Yorkshire Evening Post the bar had been a 'god send' during lockdown.
He said: "It’s been an absolute god send for watching the games on.
"It took about two and a half years from start to finish to build."
Jody's most treasured possession is also pride of place in the bar - a signed Leeds United shirt given by the Ossett U15s girls football team he trains.
He is a lifelong Leeds United fan and has a season ticket at Elland Road.
However with the interruptions of lockdown, Jody has watched each match in his bunker.
Jody posted a video tour of his garden pad on a Facebook forum - which subsequently went viral.
Hundreds of fellow Leeds United fans showed their support for his brilliant effort.
The bunker also hosts a range of Star Wars related merchandise.
Jody even has a Leeds United themed fire extinguisher mounted on the wall.
He said the reaction to the bar had been amazing.
Jody added: "It got quite a good reaction.
"At the end of the day not everyone is a Leeds fan.
"Although it is quite hard getting used to being everyone’s second team these days!"
