Patrick Bamford dedicates Whites achievement

This one is for you. That’s the message from striker Patrick Bamford who says Leeds United’s Premier League top-half finish is for all those who have suffered at the club over the last 16 years.

“It’s fantastic,” said Bamford, assessing United’s 10th-place finish to LUTV.

“For the club as a whole, for everyone, the management, the staff, everyone who works behind the scenes, the kitchen staff at the training ground and everyone, they have been at the club for 16 years.

“Some of us players have been here for two or three years so we don’t really know what it’s like. But everyone at the club suffered and this one is for them and they deserve it. They have stuck with us through the hard times as well.”
