Both teams will wear black armbands with the Whites players and management wearing black armbands embossed with ‘Speed 11’
A minute’s applause will also be held ahead of the game after which both Simon Grayson and Millwall manager Kenny Jackett will lay wreaths.
A video montage featuring remembering Gary Speed will be played on the big screen.
Fans will also pay tribute with a special banner to Gary with the words ‘Go on Gary Speed, get one yourself son’ a reference to the famous commentary which accompanied his famous goal against Sheffield United in April 1990.
* Leeds United v Millwall kicks off at 12.30pm.
Wonderful, so sorry that I cannot be at the match due to a charity event but will be there in spirit, great tribute to a loyal servant and a great guy. Thoughts go out to his family
MOT guys
Just a shame he prefered playing at newcastle as the saddest day of his life was when he left newcastle!
Excellent tribute to an excellent player just hope both Leeds and Millwall fans put aside their feelings towards each other and do the tributes justice.I am pretty sure they will.
When everone in football as one is mourning the death of not only a great player but also a great person, trust a Newcastle 'fan' to come on and try to upset people. What a poor excuse for a person you are. RIP Speedo
I'll second that sentiment, he was a tremendous player that won 2 league titles a charity shield and a league cup runners up medal for leeds, sorry but in football he'll always be remembered for been LEEDS!
