Crowds of over 150,000 packed Leeds to welcome their Championship-winning squad into the city on three open top buses on an incredible day for the club and its fans.

Bijol, a £15m arrival from Serie A side Udinese, is not alone in being shown footage of that day - Leeds recruitment chiefs have made it part of their presentation to transfer targets.

The 6ft 4ins defender insists he was already aware of the club's size and stature but the parade made him feel something.

"I watched maybe two [games] at the end of the season, a little bit," he told LUTV. "I saw a little bit of photos of the parade and everything.

"And really nice images, really nice things, and you [Leeds] enjoyed it a lot last year, and I hope we enjoy that together next year as well. For sure it gives you some goosebumps as well.
