Leeds fans are on the cusp of making it back to the Premier League for the first time in years. To be exact, it's been 15 years since the Whites kicked a ball in the top flight, and in that season they had the fantastic Lucas Radebe in the squad. Now, as they're approaching a return to the top, Radebe has offered his support on Twitter for the club.

 

 

Leeds fans everywhere love Radebe and even now that their former defender is 50-years-old, the fans still salute him and call him by his nickname 'Chief'. The South African has got so much respect from the fans of the Yorkshire club after he managed an impressive 229 games for the Whites, and even now they love seeing him showing his support for the Elland Road club.

This time around, Leeds fans have another cult hero Lucas Radebe type in Pontus Jansson. The Swede is yet to match the achievements of the South African at Elland Road, but Radebe is humble enough to want to see the current Leeds star make it further than he did. The Premier League is the start, and promotion is something the fans are dying for, so much so that the Whites want to see Radebe at Wembley should they make it to the playoff final.

The Whites cannot are desperate to make it to a Wembley playoff final, and will be desperate to see their former defender Radebe in the crowd to cheer them on.
