Leeds United and Sheffield United join forces in touching and changed George Baldock tribute

Ex-Blades star George Baldock died aged just 31 earlier this month.

Leeds United and Sheffield United have paid their respects to former Blades defender George Baldock after the Greek international's tragic death.

Baldock - who was just 31 - was found dead at his home in Athens earlier this month - less than five months on from his move to Panathinaikos after seven years with the Blades.

Ahead of tonight's Championship clash between the Whites and Blades, both teams laid wreaths in his memory before a minute's silence ahead of kick-off which turned into a minute’s applause.

Both teams are wearing black armbands for the contest which is also dedicated to the EFL's Together Against Racism campaign.
