Plenty of Leeds United fans made the trek to Australia to follow their team this summer.
Jack Harrison has told Leeds United’s official website that he’s been blown away by how many fans have followed him and his team-mates to Australia this summer.
United have been Down Under for the past week, where they lost 4-0 to Manchester United in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday.
It was a friendly in name only as two old enemies renewed hostilities on foreign soil – and a lot of UK-based Leeds fans flew over for the game, while many Australian supporters were also in attendance.
Given that Australia is on the other side of the world, it’s one hell of a gesture by Whites supporters and one that exemplifies their love for the club.
And Harrison, who re-signed for Marcelo Bielsa’s side on loan from Manchester City earlier this month, finds it simply ‘unbelievable’.
He told Leeds’ website: “It’s incredible just looking at how many fans are here just from Leeds, the support has been unbelievable coming half way around the world.”
Harrison, who earns £51,000 per week at City [Spotrac], has looked very tidy in pre-season so far and he could well have a great season on the horizon.
He was a tad hit and miss for Bielsa last season, but really came into his own toward the end of the campaign and hopefully for the Elland Road club he can pick up where he left off.
