'Alan Smith' is the Leeds United chant for the academy boy who scored 38 goals in 172 Premier League games for the Whites, then crossed to Manchester United for £7m after the 2004 relegation. The move was never forgiven, and the chant has lived at Elland Road since. Words below.

Behind the chant
When was Alan Smith first sung?
Sung at Alan Smith from his summer 2004 move to Manchester United. The chant has stayed in the Leeds away-end repertoire whenever Smith has been adjacent to a fixture (Manchester United era 2004-2007, then Newcastle 2007-2011, then beyond). The lyric is direct and unsentimental, matching the depth of Leeds fans' reaction to the move.
What's the story behind Alan Smith?
Smith scored on his Manchester United debut: a swerving volley in the 55th minute of the August 2004 Community Shield against Arsenal. Arsenal won the match 3-1. Leeds fans, by all accounts, did not enjoy any of it.
