Bamford and some of his fellow players gathered on the steps of the East Stand after a 6-0 win over Stoke and Burnley's victory over Sheffield United.

Those results confirmed Leeds' Premier League status for next season and consigned Sheffield United to the play-offs.

Ex-Blades defender Jayden Bogle was seen dancing along to the chant as it spread through supporters at the stadium gates.

The subject came up during Wilder's press conference to preview their game against Stoke today and he revealed that both Bamford and Leeds boss Daniel Farke had been on the phone since Monday's events.
