Is there a shrine to Leon at the ground?

I would like to pay my respects when we visit on Friday.

Been to Leon's funeral - stood outside with hundreds of others as the service was relayed over the speakers. Very poignant and upsetting to see 4 of the young reserve grade players wearing their Wildcats shirts carry Leon into and back out of the Church. http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/v ...

And another video on the Express site. http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/news/ ... 5137431.jp Wasn't there but just watching that is gutting. Couldn't stop the tears with the pictures of the academy players carrying his coffin, they're just too young to have to worry about that kind of stuff. Well, they should be. But then Leon should have been too. RIP.

I was there also, seeing the young academy lads carrying Leon's coffin was very moving for me.
They ARE too young for this kind of thing, but I think it was their tribute to Leon.
