Moving video shows mourners outside Elland Road after 'legend' Leeds United superfan Steve Denney dies

Steve Denney, a dedicated Whites fan who had home and away season tickets, died on August 26 aged 59.

He was diagnosed with terminal oesophageal cancer earlier this year and the Leeds United family came together to support him when he was unable to work.

Tributes have poured in for Steve, who was so well known that football fans from across the country regularly asked to have their photograph taken with him at games.

Friend and fellow Whites fan Natasha Gooding edited a moving video tribute to Steve, showing his funeral cortege passing Elland Road.

Mourners lined the streets to say goodbye and Natasha said match days would "never be the same" without him.

Natasha told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "I can’t describe Steve any other way than to call him a legend and a great friend.

"He was Mr Leeds United, his love for Leeds was infectious. When I first started going with the Hope Inn on away days Steve welcomed me straight away.

"He had a museum at his house of all Leeds memorabilia and Leeds fans all over the world came to see it.

"Steve let me film him and his house for my Leeds documentary and when I told him I’m getting money together to buy rights for the game footage he offered to sell his memorabilia to help me, obviously I declined but that just showed what an absolute gent he was and would help anyone.

"It has been an honour to film Steve one last time at Elland Road with his friends and family giving him the best send off he deserves.

"Leeds United match days will never be the same without him, he has left a hole in everyone’s hearts who knew him or had the privilege of meeting him."
