This song is taken from the memory books! A lot of you will nod in recognition at mention of the great
little Irish player Johnny Giles (for the rest of you - go get your history books!).

In 1971 an EP (extended play record) was released with "The Ballad of
Billy Bremner", "The Lads of Leeds" and "The Tale of
Johnny Giles". The EP was about the team, and particularly the two individual players that without
discussion were among the greatest players ever to pull on a Leeds jersey.

Although you may be forgiven that the reference to "all the stew he eats" is a secret formuala for
Johnny's success (like Gordon Strachan's bananas and porridge!) it is actually just a (mildly racist)
joke - "Irish Stew" - get it?

Memories from a great time for Leeds United!
