The Leeds United Songs And Chants

(http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/3419/songs.htm#07)

In truth, the site is a little dull. . . until you scroll down to this peach of a tribute to the one and very only Johnny Giles. It goes something like this (sing along, if you like): "I know a little Irishman who gets the fans excited, I'm glad he left old Manchester and came to Leeds United.

'Cos Johnny Giles of Ireland is the general of United and if Don Revie had his way then Johnny would be knighted.

When Johnny takes a penalty the goalie looks quite sorry, and Billy Bremner dare not look but he really needn't worry,

He puts the ball down on the spot, the goalkeeper is sweatin', He does his sort of an Irish jig, the ball is in the nettin'.

It must be all the stew he eats that gives him his endurance, 'Cos if you meet him in the street he'd sell you some insurance."

Good, eh? Then there's the Billy Bremner song - "When they talk of Matthews and Pele, of Lawton and Finney and James, like a whiskey in your belly, he will glow amongst those names". Ah, great days indeed at Elland Road. Now? Well, all they sing is "We are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds (repeat ad nauseam), which just about sums up the decline of the once great club.
