The atmosphere at the Premier League Darts event on Thursday (9 May) was electrifying as Luke Humphries took the stage in tribute to his beloved Leeds United. A huge Whites supporter and world champion, Humphries made his walk on to the classic tune ‘Marching on Together’, dressed in retro Leeds colors to the delight of the crowd at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.
The sound of the Kaiser Chiefs’ ‘I Predict a Riot’ filled the air, adding to the excitement and nostalgia for Leeds fans. This anthem, which had previously unsettled rivals like Leicester City, was a fitting choice for Humphries as he paid homage to his club.
Despite facing some backlash from Leicester supporters, Leeds fans were thrilled by the display of loyalty from Humphries. The memories of the Kaiser Chiefs hit playing during Leeds’ victory over Leicester earlier in the season were reignited, adding to the anticipation of the upcoming play-offs.
As the tension builds for Leeds fans ahead of their play-off first leg at Norwich City, Humphries’ tribute serves as a rallying cry for the team. The hope for a riotous mood to inspire victory is high among the faithful supporters, who continue to stand by their club through thick and thin.
