Live after death Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Utd originally, but been used at Leeds Rl/rhinos for some time. Rhinos own the rights to the song apparently, bought it when Utd went into receivership.(sic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Is it not the Leeds United squad on vocals? Which does make it even more weird that Leeds would use it. 1 "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it originate at the rugby or the soccer? The first verse is: Here we go with Leeds United, We're gonna give the boys a hand, Stand up and sing for Leeds united, They are the greatest in the land. Rhinos obviously drop that bit when they play/chant it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz39 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It's Leeds united's song, their fans started singing it at Headingley when the football club was ###### and the rugby team were doing well and the fans went there instead, now the football is doing ok again they go back to the football and sing it there again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always sung it at Elland Road , despite what sort of form LUFC have been in . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have but until Leeds United were in the 3rd Division i'd never heard it played or even sung at Headingley - coincidence? i think not.

daz39 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 As i said i've never heard it till about 10 years ago, i 1st went to Headingley in 1989, even my mate who is a season ticket holder at ER once said "what the f*** are they singing that for?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunsletgreenandgold Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Most Leeds United fans (even many who are cross over Rhinos fans) hate that the Rhinos sing it. It is undoubtedly a football song that the Rhinos hijacked quite a while back. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Its no more upsetting than the thousands of Cas/Wakey etc fans who sing we all hate Leeds sc*m at rhinos fans then profess to be "all leeds aren't we" for LUFC on a Saturday afternoon. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I actually like it too and think its great when clubs have their own individual songs. It all helps for the atmosphere. Yes it may have come from Football but as a Rugby fan I firmly think of Leeds RL when I hear it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is definitely the case. It was being sung by Leeds fans at Headingley in the 80s and 90s so it's nothing new.

I distinctly remember it being sung in the late 90s when Leeds United were going great guns and were in the Champions League etc. That was before their financial troubles so I dont think it fits the Football fans starting to watch Leeds Rhinos and singing it narrative.
