Lifelong Leeds United fan to raffle famous custom van which has visited every ground for last five years

Glynn Bennett, 52, has driven his beloved 1984 Winnebago Le Sharo for more than 60,000 miles across the country with his wife Vanessa, 52 - visiting every Championship ground last season and following the Whites on away days for the past five years.

The famous customised van complete with decals and unique interior has featured on Match of the Day and Sky Sports and fans flock to spot it in The Peacock car park on matchdays.

Glynn, from Rochdale, said he has spent over £20k buying and customising the van.

He is now hoping to raffle the van before starting his next project.

Speaking to the YEP, Glynn said: "I am hoping my project will be finished in January, so it is time to finally sell the van.

"She is in superb condition.

"I have done more than 60,000 miles in her over the past six years.

"It has been to every Championship ground and all of the Premier League grounds Leeds have visited in the last year and a bit."

Glynn is hoping to sell 600 tickets at £20 each for the van.

The 1st prize will be the van, a 2nd prize worth £500 and £1,000 will also be donated to charity, Glynn told the YEP.

If all tickets are sold, the draw is due to be held on January 22 prior to the match against Newcastle United in The Peacock pub.

Glynn has made mammoth journeys to the South coast and completed a 600 mile trip to Southampton last week.

He hopes the van will go to a fellow Leeds United fan which will appreciate the care he has put into the project.
