Former Leeds United and Liverpool striker, Australian Harry Kewell has decided to sign for Turkish club Galatasaray. Galatasaray announced that Kewell has signed a 3-year-deal with the club.
But this news has stunned Leeds fans because two Leeds fans - Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight - were stabbed to death by Turkish football hooligans on the eve of the 2000 UEFA Cup semi-final first leg against Galatasaray. Kewell played in that match which went ahead despite the tragedy - the 2-0 defeat immaterial to Leeds and their fans who still remember the murders of Loftus and Speight with deep sadness.
