Leeds United
‘Top man’, ‘Well said!’ – Plenty of people react to Leeds United star’s passionately delivered message

With the recent global developments changing day by day, many members of the public are encouraging social distancing.
With football suspended until at least 30th April, some players and managers are leading the way in encouraging people to take precautionary steps during these unprecedented times.
Last night, Leeds United’s Stuart Dallas became the latest footballer to have his say on the current circumstances, encouraging people to stay at home and avoid social gatherings in order to stay safe.
Dallas has arguably been one of Leeds’ stand-out players of this season, appearing in all 37 of the Whites’ Championship games, scoring three goals for Marcelo Bielsa’s men.
The 28-year-old has won plaudits from many Leeds fans this season for his versatility and leadership shown as Leeds look to end their 16-year exile from the Premier League.
Filmed in a kitchen and talking in a frank tone, the Northern Ireland international outlined what people need to do and why they should do it during the current global situation.

Not only have you shown your versatility on a football pitch this season you can now chip in with PM, health secretary and NHS Spokesman. I just hope people will listen to you Stuart because there is a lot of stupidity going on across GB.

QUIZ: These 15 players played for both Leeds United and Everton – true or false?
Just when you think you can't love @dallas_stuart anymore, leader on and off the pitch, so proud he represents our club and our city! #StayAtHome #StayHomeSaveLives #mot #lufc

Well said stu.
Sadly some of them think it's some kind of joke & arent bothered whether it affects their parents, grandad, grandmas etc. Its sad, it really is.
You guys can make a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE in getting the younger generation to hopefully take a bit more notice.
