Many Leeds United fans have flocked to a tweet from Patrick Bamford in which he shared the lyrics to a chant that was posted onto Twitter.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side ran out 3-1 winners at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday thanks to goals from Bamford, Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich (via BBC Sport), taking another step towards promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2004.
Bamford has been a regular for the Whites this season having started 95% of their Championship fixtures so far (via Transfermarkt.co.uk) and it appears the 26-year-old striker approves of his chant. Here is how some of the Elland Road faithful responded after the former Chelsea striker showed his appreciation for the chant.
Love you Paddy x

Bamford signed for Leeds from Middlesbrough in July 2018 in a deal believed to be worth £7.11m (as per Transfermarkt.co.uk). Since arriving at Elland Road, he has represented the club on 67 occasions, scoring 25 goals to date.
The Whites currently hold a six-point lead over third-placed Brentford and having missed out on promotion last season, Marcelo Bielsa’s side will be desperate to complete the job and take the club back into the top flight. Bamford has scored twice in four appearances since the restart and the fans will no doubt be hoping he can continue his good form in the coming weeks.
