More footballers should do this

It’s the little things that make the big difference.

We were all guilty of getting our favourite player on the back of our jersey when we were younger.

Whether it be Henry, Torres, Rooney or Suarez there is not many people around the county that haven’t got their idol’s name printed onto their new strip.

Well, one young Leeds fan decided to treat himself to the club’s 2017/18 jersey ahead of the new season starting this weekend.

Irish international Eunan O’Kane was the desired choice for Jack Johnson and it clearly meant a lot to the 27-year-old as he decided to take time out of his day to reply to his biggest fan.

It gets even better for young Jack as we have been informed that the missing apostrophe “O’Kane” will be added before the start of the season when Leeds play Bolton on Saturday.
