of the clubs recent campaign to Kick Racism Out of football with a
competition that could see a lucky winner receiving a copy of the new
Lucas Radebe DVD 'The Lucas Radebe Story' as well as 2 Tickets for the
official guided tour of Elland Road.
5 runners-up prizes of The Chief's DVD will also be awarded.
In support of the clubs Kick it Out campaign LUST helped facilitate the
Albert Johannesson exhibition at the Leeds Cooperative store in Beeston.
Albert was the first black player to play in an FA Cup Final (1965) and
died in tragic circumstances 10 years ago. This new competition now helps
celebrate another black Leeds United legend from more recent times - The
Chief - Lucas Radebe.
In addition to being a brilliant defender Lucas has shown how a modern day
sports star should use his fame by being an inspiration to young people
everywhere but particularly those disadvantaged children in his home
country of South Africa where he is almost as well known as former
President Mandela.
ILC Sport Ltd, www.ilcsportdirect.com have provided the 6 copies of the
DVD which features the full 90 minutes from the Testimonial game when the
world of international football past and present assembled in front of
38,000 fans at Elland Road in May 2005. The DVD tells the story of his
rise from the townships of South Africa to the very pinnacle of the game
in Europe as captain of Leeds United in their pursuit of domestic and
European glory. It also covers the winning of the African Nations Cup on
his own soil as he became the most capped player in South African
football.
In order to win one of the DVD's which are now available from official
Leeds United outlets price £15.99 as well as good retailers everywhere
from the 14th November 2005 all you have to do is answer the following
question which might just take a bit of research or a good memory.
