Adam Fowler reports.
Internet sensation, 8-year-old Lenny Street, first came to prominence during lockdownwhen he was raising money for a new school in Sheffield by using his piano skills.
He has now done his own rendition of Marching on Together, to celebrate LeedsUnited’s promotion to the Premier League.
The 8-year-old’s cover of the Leeds United anthem has so far racked up nearly three hundred thousand views on Twitter, including praise from captain Liam Cooper, who tweeted “Beautiful Lennie, what a star you are. I'd like to dedicate that win (against Barnsley) to you little man. Lots of love from me and everybody @LUFC." He was also presented with a signed team sheet.
Lennie first found online stardom during lockdown when the self-taught pianist offered to play a hundred songs over a month to raise money for Paces Sheffield. He's so far raised more than £11,000.
