Leeds United legend Jermaine Beckford comments on Patrick Bamford

Leeds United legend Jermaine Beckford has hailed Patrick Bamford as an ‘unsung hero’ for the club.

Bamford, who joined Leeds last summer from Middlesbrough, has started the season strongly scoring four goals and providing one assist in seven Championship games.

Last season, Bamford struggled badly with injuries and played mainly as a second fiddle to Kemar Roofe. With Roofe now gone, the 26-year-old has become the club’s first-choice striker under Marcelo Bielsa, and he is doing a fantastic job so far.

Although summer signing Eddie Nketiah, who joined on loan from Arsenal, has also been amongst the goals, Bielsa has kept immense faith in Bamford.
