“Once a White, Always a White”: Patrick Bamford Delivers Emotional Farewell as He Departs Leeds United

After five unforgettable years filled with goals, grit, and unforgettable Elland Road moments, Patrick Bamford has officially announced his departure from Leeds United. The striker, who became a central figure in the club’s long-awaited return to the Premier League and a fan favorite for his tireless work ethic, released a deeply emotional press statement on Sunday morning, titled “Once a White, Always a White.”

Bamford’s exit marks the end of a significant chapter for both the player and the club, and his heartfelt farewell has already drawn tears and admiration from the Leeds faithful who watched him lead the line through thick and thin.


Bamford’s Full Statement: A Heartfelt Goodbye

“It’s hard to find the words, but the time has come to say goodbye to Leeds United.

This club took a chance on me when others didn’t, and for that I will be forever grateful. I’ve lived some of the best moments of my career here — from scoring in front of a packed Elland Road to helping bring this club back to the Premier League, where it belongs.

The fans, the people, the city — you welcomed me like one of your own. I’ll never forget the roar of the crowd, the songs, the support through the injuries and the goals. Every time I stepped onto the pitch wearing this shirt, I knew what it meant.

Though my journey with Leeds is ending, a piece of my heart will always remain at Elland Road.

Once a White, Always a White. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”


A Journey of Redemption and Resilience

Patrick Bamford signed for Leeds United in the summer of 2018 from Middlesbrough, brought in by then-manager Marcelo Bielsa as a key piece in the Argentine’s ambitious rebuilding project. Despite arriving with a reputation for talent but inconsistency, Bamford found his footballing home in West Yorkshire.

His early days were plagued with injuries, but he quickly won over fans with his work rate, selflessness, and intelligence on the pitch. The 2019–20 season was the turning point: Bamford netted 16 goals in the Championship as Leeds stormed to the title and secured promotion back to the Premier League after 16 long years away.

In the 2020–21 Premier League season, he silenced critics by scoring 17 goals and providing 8 assists, finishing as one of the league’s most productive forwards. His performances earned him an England cap and widespread praise, not just for his output but his pressing and commitment to Bielsa’s intense style of play.


Club and Fans Pay Tribute

Following the announcement of his departure, Leeds United released a tribute on their official website and social media channels, hailing Bamford as “a cornerstone of the club’s modern revival and a leader in both dressing room and community.”

Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe said:

“Patrick has given everything for Leeds United. He’s been a role model, a leader, and a tremendous ambassador for our club on and off the pitch. We thank him for his years of dedication and wish him all the success in his next chapter.”

Fans were equally vocal in their appreciation. Social media was flooded with messages of love and gratitude, with fans sharing favorite moments — including his hat-trick against Aston Villa, the thunderbolt against Leicester, and his celebration in front of the away end at the Hawthorns.

One fan wrote:

“You gave us pride, passion, and goals. You helped us dream again. Thank you for everything, Bamford.”


Injury Battles and a Story of Perseverance

While Bamford’s story at Leeds is filled with triumph, it was not without hardship. After his explosive Premier League campaign, the following seasons were marred by injuries and setbacks. He struggled with ankle, hamstring, and groin issues that kept him on the sidelines for long spells, and he often played through pain to help the team during difficult periods.

Despite the criticism and pressure that came with being a leading figure, Bamford always maintained professionalism, humility, and dedication to the cause.

In his statement, he acknowledged the tough times:

“There were moments when it was hard — when the body didn’t do what the heart wanted. But even in the lowest points, the support from the fans and the club never wavered. That meant everything to me.”


What’s Next for Bamford?

Bamford, now 30, is believed to be evaluating several offers, including interest from Championship and lower Premier League sides, as well as overseas clubs in the MLS and Europe. While nothing has been confirmed, the striker has made it clear he still has ambitions to play at a high level.

He has also expressed interest in one day returning to Leeds in a different capacity — whether as a coach, ambassador, or simply as a fan in the stands.


A Legacy Etched in Elland Road History

Bamford leaves Leeds United with a legacy that few modern players can rival. His 49 goals in 178 appearances don’t tell the full story — it was his presence, his link-up play, and his embodiment of the club’s fighting spirit that made him a true fan favorite.

From his eloquence in interviews to his charity work and community involvement, Bamford became more than just a striker — he became a representative of what Leeds United stood for in their post-promotion rebirth.


Final Thoughts

Patrick Bamford’s time at Leeds United may have ended, but his impact will be felt for years to come. In a club built on history, loyalty, and fight, Bamford’s journey mirrored those values perfectly. He arrived with something to prove and left having helped restore pride to one of English football’s sleeping giants.

In his own words — Once a White, Always a White.

Thank you, Patrick. Elland Road will always be your home.
