I never realised until last week that erling halland was actually born in Leeds.

I knew his dad was obviously playing in England around this time but just assumed he’d been born in Norway.

but nope Leeds.

What happened to all the little Juninho’s and Boksic’s? What was the point in the academy if not to invite an international squad of footballing philanders to create boro baby galacticos?

It doesn't really make him a Yorkshireman, but yes he's got strong links and is unfortunately a Leeds fan.

What being born in Yorkshire doesn’t make him a Yorkshireman ??? Eh how does that work. As that’s all the pro Middlesbrough Yorkshire lot on here bang on about my birth certificate says etc

Well looks like he will be wearing all white next season but in Spain as reports show he’s opted for a move to real.

Well no, not really I wouldn't think someone spending a bit of time there as a baby would warrant them being a Yorkshireman. He was brought up in Norway. I would say a Yorkshireman would classify Yorkshire as their home.
