21/01/2024 By Phil Lanning
LUKE HUMPHRIES admitted it was “absolutely magical” after parading the Sid Waddell trophy at Leeds football club.
The new World Champion did a lap of honour around the Elland Road pitch at half-time during their home win over Preston earlier this afternoon.
He also went into the Leeds United TV studio with their presenter Emma Louise Jones.
It has been well-documented that Humphries, 28, was named Luke after Leeds United Kings of Europe.
He said: “I’m actually out of breath. Honestly my arms are hutting so bad.
“It was amazing, that was a moment I’ve been really looking forward to after I won it.
“To have the whole of Elland Road cheering me on was absolutely magical.
“I was supposed to be called Liam but my dad saw someone else call their kid the same Luke. He gave me that name. What better thing but to be named after a football club.”
Jones also said: “A pleasure to be joined by Luke and his (VERY HEAVY) trophy in the studio.”
