Leeds United fans have unveiled a new mural of one of their cult heroes to celebrate diversity in the city in a project funded by the Fans for Diversity campaign.

This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
As part of our ‘Fans for Diversity’ campaign, we jointly commissioned with Kick It Out a mural at Victoria Road, home of League Two side Dagenham and Redbridge.
Adorning the family stand, the artwork captures the day Dagenham and Redbridge emerged victorious in the League Two play-off final.
Fans for Diversity funded the mural which is a tribute to the club’s continued efforts to promote diversity and equal opportunities. Speaking at the unveiling, before Dagenham’s fixture against Cheltenham Town, FSF diversity and campaigns manager Anwar Uddin said: “It’s great that we can bring the stand to life in a way that represents the club’s history and highlights the great community work that they do.”
