Leeds United legends were present for the game played to honour avid Whites fan Elliot who died aged just 30.
After his death in 2019 his dad, David Bransby, wanted to put something together that would honour him and two other footballers that have died – Daniel Yorath and Gary Speed – while raising money for charity.
The Elliot James Bransby Memorial Football Match saw Team Yorath take on Team Speed with the sides managed on the day by Leeds United legends Howard Wilkinson and Terry Yorath – Daniel’s father.
All money raised through tickets for the event will go to men’s mental health charity Andy’s Man Club and The Disabilities Trust, which has a rehabilitation centre named after Daniel Yorath.
Another former Whites manager, Simon Grayson, who steered the club to promotion from League One, was one of a number of ex-Leeds players to take part in the game along with celebrities, including comedian and huge Leeds United fan Jon Richardson.
