Leeds United tribute to crash victim planned

Leeds United will pay tribute to a teenager who was one of three young men killed in a car crash in West Yorkshire last weekend.

Avid Leeds fan Daniel Grace, 19, died following a collision in West Bretton, near Wakefield, on Friday 24 January.

His photo will be shown on the big screen at Elland Road during the 19th minute of the club's game against Cardiff on Saturday, with fans encouraged to applaud by way of a tribute.

Driver Koby Jones, who was 18, also died in the incident, along with 19-year-old Shay Doyle.

A club spokesperson told the PA news agency: "We learned of this tragic accident on social media and Daniel's family contacted us, his uncle got in touch.

"There will be a fan-generated minute's applause in the 19th minute and there will be a picture of Daniel on the stadium's big screen."

Inquests are due to open into the tragedy at Wakefield Coroner's Court on Wednesday.

In a tribute released earlier this week, Mr Jones' mother Rebecca said: "Koby was genuinely one of the most kind, thoughtful, hardworking young men I have ever known and we are so proud to call him our son!"

The black Seat Ibiza being driven by Mr Jones was travelling on Bramley Lane when it left the road and crashed at about 20:30 GMT, West Yorkshire Police said.

Two other men were also injured in the crash, one of them seriously.
