Lars Vaular is a 28-year-old Norwegian rapper and a huge Leeds United fan. To celebrate the September 8th birthday of former Leeds player Gary Speed -- the Welshman would have turned 44 this year -- he produced a rap video as a tribute to the man who spent the first eight years of his professional career playing for The Whites.

Be warned, it’s catchy.
