Leeds tribute from Norway
The following 'Ode to Leeds United' was penned by Borge Ravndal who hails from Aalgaard in Norway. Borge has been a supporter of the Whites since the age of seven, sharing in the ups and downs from the glory years to the present day.
His positive energy sent across the North Sea might just help vanquish non-league Kettering at Elland Road this evening, thus setting up a mouth-watering FA Cup clash against old foes Manchester United at Old Trafford in round three.
I was born in nineteen sixty four
with a decade of pride underway
when Leeds entered the marvellous door
for ten years they were able to stay
On top and opponents were shocked
by their brilliant, magnificent play
and back fours were constantly knocked
by Clarke, Bremner, Giles, Jones and Gray
Don Revie, a genius he was
and in players skills he believed
in return they gave to their boss
the honour of goals they achieved
We’re still longing back to those days
of glory and triumph and pride
we trust that the lads find the ways
although it’s a long way to ride
But this season may be the start
of climbing to something great
for Leeds, the club in my heart
for Premier League patient we wait!
Many Thanks Borge!
