Jody told the Yorkshire Evening Post the bar had been a 'god send' during lockdown.
He said: "It’s been an absolute god send for watching the games on.
"It took about two and a half years from start to finish to build."

However with the interruptions of lockdown, Jody has watched each match in his bunker.

The bunker also hosts a range of Star Wars related merchandise.
Jody even has a Leeds United themed fire extinguisher mounted on the wall.
He said the reaction to the bar had been amazing.

"Although it is quite hard getting used to being everyone’s second team these days!"
