If Pablo Hernandez ever needed any clarification that he'll forever be a Leeds United legend and that he's still loved by the fans then he definitely received that this weekend. After departing Leeds last season following five seasons, Hernandez joined Spanish third-tier side Castellon, his hometown club where he began his career.
But Hernandez left a lasting impression on Leeds as he scored the goal to take them back to the Premier League and played an important role throughout the 2019/20 season. And although he remains a firm favourite amongst fans, he would have been shocked to see around 60 Leeds supporters at Castellon's last game of the season, with the West Yorkshire fans showing their support to him.

The Leeds fans had travelled to Eastern Spain for a stag do, but found time to go and watch Castellon's final game of the season. After the game, Hernandez was captured sharing an emotional moment with the fans, holding back the tears whilst holding up a Leeds scarf and singing 'Marching on Together'.
Meanwhile, Hernández’s wife Mar Garcia Fernandez responded to Leeds United fans on Twitter following the game, saying: “Every video gets more and more emotional. Thank you Leeds. #untilwemeetagain".
Hernandez made 167 league appearances for Leeds, scoring 34 goals and being a key player in their side throughout the Championship seasons, helping them secure their spot back to the Premier League when they won the division.
