Leeds United take on Norwich City this afternoon with a growing sense of optimism arising at Elland Road.

The club could go into the international break in the play-off places with a win, and results going their way, whilst they also have an EFL Cup quarter-final at Liverpool to look forward to.

Ahead of the game against Norwich they have also been handed a message of support from a club legend.

Lucas Radebe sent this post on his official Twitter account earlier today, highlighting his support for his former club:

Radebe arrived at Elland Road from Kaizer Chiefs back in 1994 and went on to become an icon at the club.

Over the course of 11 years with Leeds he became their number one defender and helped them to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2001 – although he struggled with injury trouble toward the end of his career.

Leeds, who feel Pontus Jansson might have the potential for such cult status at the club, will be hoping to put a smile on their former captain’s face at Carrow Road this afternoon.
