@Ken_DeMange Our @Kalvinphillips though, again grew with every passing minute, absolutely outstanding once he dropped back into his natural position. For every kid pretending to be Kalvin in the playground a month ago, there’ll be ten now. What a player. What a joy to call him our own at LUFC.

@BatesyV5 @Kalvinphillips you were absolutely sensational, every game you played. Player of the tournament for me. Done Leeds proud, and now your country. Magnificent. Enjoy your break now, you've earned it. #lufc

@MOTForever Well done @Kalvinphillips absolute Titan in the tournament. Now get yourself on a short break and then back to murderball. Drive #lufc up that Premier League.
