Leeds manager Brian McDermott gives beer money to traveling fans in Slovenia

Leeds are pre-seasoning in Slovenia at the moment, beating a local “Select XI” side 3-1 yesterday evening thanks to goals from Matt Smith, Dominic Poleon and new signing from Reading, Noel Hunt.

Impressively for such a low key fixture, a small number of travelling Leeds fans turned out for the game, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Phil Hay, the thirsty gaggle of supporters chanted “it’s your round Brian” in the general direction of manager Brian McDermott toward the end of the match.

Upon hearing the plea for beer, McDermott made his way over to the Leeds fans at full-time and handed over a €50 from his own pocket as a little “thank-you” gesture to the devoted supporters,

When asked about the gesture, McDermott explained that it was the least he could do.



Worry not, Brian, as the money was put to good use…
