Irish great Paul McGrath is full of praise for Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford.

McGrath wrote for the Sunday World: "Leeds are going well just now, even though their top scorer, Patrick Bamford, with 14 Premier League goals, has hit a dry spell.

"I like Bamford, I like his movement off the ball and the easy way he seems to get around the pitch.

"And he refused to play for Ireland in an honourable way, saying that he did not feel Irish despite having the necessary relatives to allow him to don the Green.

"If you are going to refuse to play for Ireland do it that way, not in the manner others did."
