The current pandemic and the subsequent suspension of professional football across the country means that fans and the players themselves have plenty of time on their hands, and those associated with Leeds are no different.
Fortunately, there has been some good content for the Whites’ supporters to get their teeth into, which includes Sky Sports’ recent interview with three of the Elland Road outfit’s players during the lockdown in the United Kingdom.
Luke Ayling was one of the trio along with Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips to talk to the news outlet and he was asked about his incredible goals so far this term, and it seems he particularly enjoyed the one against Huddersfield.
He said: “I’ve watched it every day since. In the first week I watched it 30 times every day on repeat. It would be half 10 at night and I’d be in bed with the lights off. I’d put it on one last time and get a bit of an elbow from the missus telling me to go to sleep! But I’ll probably never score a goal like that again.”
As you can imagine, this has gone down fantastically well with the club’s supporters, clearly enjoying the thoughts of their players during these difficult times. They took to Twitter to respond, with one suggesting that Ayling deserves to be playing in the Premier League.
