Leicester City fans bound to have another meltdown after Luke Humphries Leeds United tribute
‘I Predict a Riot’ could hardly feel more apt after Luke Humphries paid tribute to his beloved Leeds United on night 15 of the Premier League Darts on Thursday (9 May). The world champion is a huge Whites supporter and was a popular figure at the First Direct Arena in Leeds when he made his walk on for his first-round match against Rob Cross.
Humphries, dressed in retro Leeds colours, made his way out to the crowd with the introduction to ‘Marching on Together’ blaring out to a raucous reception, in footage show live on Sky Sports Main Event (9 May). It quickly transitioned into ‘I Predict a Riot’, the popular ditty from Leeds-mad band the Kaiser Chiefs – a popular tune played out at Elland Road.
It’s a song not overly popular with Leeds’ rivals this season Leicester City, who despite being Championship champions were, let’s say, a little rattled by the tune.
Back in February, Leeds fought back from a goal down to defeat the Foxes 3-1 at Elland Road and the Kaiser Chiefs hit blared out amid memorable celebratory scenes.
Unfortunately for Leeds, Leicester did ultimately have the last laugh by winning the title while Daniel Farke’s men were consigned to the play-offs.
Perhaps expectedly, Leicester players were videoed trolling Leeds a little by celebrating and blaring out ‘I Predict a Riot’.

Well, another meltdown feels like it could be on the way after Humphries’ tribute to his club at the darts, clearly the song and the celebrations were not overly popular with Leicester supporters.
Still, Leeds fans will care little, they will revel in Humphries’ tribute and the focus for all Whites supporters is of course Sunday’s (12 May) play-off first leg at Norwich City, where the away fans will be hoping a riotous mood can inspire the team onto victory.
