River Blackman - Match Day Mascot

David Davies • November 26, 2024

River Blackman Leeds mascot for Leeds V Plymouth 2/11/24.

We made our way to Elland Road to meet up with the people who were in charge of the mascots, they were very friendly and welcoming and made us all feel relaxed and made River feel very important and special.

River got given a full Leeds home kit as well as a bag of goodies too, then off he went to meet the Leeds players, he was very excited to meet Gnonto as he is his favourite player! He took his away kit shirt with him and they all signed it for him.

He then walked out onto the pitch infront of 36,000 fans holding Tanakas hand and was super excited! He then was escorted back to our seats and we watched Leeds win 3-0!

We really couldn’t have asked for a better day and will cherish that for the rest of our lives!

MOT !!
