Leeds United Unveil New Striker—Turns Out He’s Just a Fan with a Season Ticket

 

In an unprecedented move, Leeds United have unveiled their latest signing—a lifelong fan named Dave Thompson, who won a club raffle for a “meet-and-greet experience” but ended up being signed as a striker.

 

Club officials insist this is part of a “bold new strategy” to reconnect with supporters.

“Dave’s got passion, and that’s what we need,” said manager Daniel Farke in a press conference.

“He might not have any professional experience, but he brings something unique: a relentless belief that shouting ‘shoot’ from 40 yards always works.”

 

Thompson, a 38-year-old accountant, expressed shock at the signing but vowed to give it his all.

“I was here to collect a free scarf, and now I’m leading the line against Manchester City,” he said. “I’ve been practicing in five-a-side for years—this is just a bigger pitch.”

 

Fans have mixed reactions. Some are excited by the club’s ingenuity, while others are less convinced.

“I mean, he’s got decent ball control at pub quizzes, but can he do it on a cold night at Elland Road?”

asked one skeptical supporter.

 

Thompson is expected to make his debut next week, with bookmakers offering favorable odds on him being subbed off within 10 minutes.
