Lib Hume: Family of lifelong Sheffield United fan ask for tribute at Wembley after tragic death at 22
The family of a brave 22-year-old whose life was tragically cut short by cancer are hoping to pay tribute to her in Sheffield United’s upcoming match at Wembley.
Libby Hume - who went by Lib - was a lifelong Blades fan, who attended every single game she could.
Even while battling cancer over the last two years, the brave 22-year-old from Killamarsh continued to make her way to Bramall Lane and held onto her season ticket.
Sadly, Lib’s battle against the disease met a tragic end this week, with family members heartbroken after her passing.
To honour her memory, and her endless love of all things Sheffield United, they are now hoping to pay tribute to her at the team’s Championship play-off final against Sunderland on Saturday (May 24).
They hope to get fans clapping on the 22nd minute in honour of the courageous young woman.
Lib’s older cousin, Lois Cranstone, told The Star: “She’s had a season ticket for as long as I’ve known her - her whole life.
“Her family have always been season ticket holders as well so they would go together.
“Even while she had cancer she went to matches whenever she could.
“She’s been amazing throughout her battle, she kept doing the K-pop dances from her university course while undergoing treatment.
“The nurses at Weston Park were amazed by it all.
“We just want to get the word out there now.”
