Leeds United fans were lauding Ramon Nunez after an image of the Honduras international was posted on Twitter.

The midfielder joined the Whites in the summer of 2010 on a free transfer from Honduran club CD Olimpia.
He spent three seasons with the side before he left for FC Dallas in the United States, making just 25 appearances for the club (via Transfermarkt).
Nunez scored five goals and assisted a further four and despite his struggles at the Yorkshire club, earned himself two contract extensions during his time there.
As of January 2017, Nunez has been retired from professional football with his last club being Fort Lauderdale in the United States.
Nevertheless, fans were still full of praise for the player as they took to Twitter to react to an image of him.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful, with one supporter stating that Nunez is a baller:
That equalizer in the dying minutes in pre-season against Sandefjord, Honduran legend.

Ramon Nunez for me is in the same bracket as Grella. There was a glimpse of something there
