On the latest episode of BBC Sounds' My Mate's A Footballer, Leeds striker Patrick Bamford has been talking to comedian Joe Wilkinson about how to get in the head of football players.

From Raheem Sterling getting in Bamford's head, to playing against his best friend and to shouting 'megs' in training, you can listen to more on the dark arts in the latest episode.

He also talks about the time Leeds let Aston Villa score a goal at Elland Road after a contentious moment helped put Leeds in front.

"Marcelo [Bielsa] was like 'give them the goal.' It was strange. It did cause absolute carnage," said Bamford.

"Their player was down and the ball got played to Tyler Roberts and everyone kind of half stopped. Tyler then played it through to [Mateusz] Klich who dribbled through and scored.

"There was then a scuffle and I ended up getting suspended for being an idiot."

Find out who Bamford says is the funniest player he's played with by taking in the show.
