Lucas Radebe has praised the Elland Road atmosphere ahead of Leeds United's vital clash with Brighton in the Premier League, as he reflected on getting "goosebumps" every time he stepped out onto the pitch.
Javi Gracia will be hoping to use the home advantage once again as he looks to repeat his debut win over Southampton with victory over another south coast team. The Seagulls come to West Yorkshire in fine form and Leeds know they will have to be at their very best to get something from the game.
The Elland Road faithful will no doubt be right behind their team once again as they go in search of a vital three points, a result that would keep them out of the relegation zone. Radebe knows just how vital a role the home crowd can play during their fight against relegation, as he reflected on his fond memories of walking down the tunnel ahead of kick-off.

"Just being in the dressing room," Radebe told the club's social media. "Absorbing that atmosphere and walking out onto the field - the raptures of the fans, you realise the passion and the love coming [from the fans], it filters onto the field of play.
"I always have goosebumps every game coming to the club and running out on that field. For me it's something that will live with me forever, running onto that field, smelling the grass, absorbing the atmosphere and then winning and [seeing] the smiles on the faces of everyone."
