Correct me if im wrong but didn't the press say that Les was known down loftus road as "Sir" Les because it certainly wasn't the fans as the song went " I "SAID" Leslie Ferdinand i "SAID Leslie Ferdinand,and it just got misinterpreted cos it sounds like "SIR"

No mate it was Sir Les when sung! -
I'm pretty sure Shanns is right. I always sang "I said Leslie Ferdinand" anyway.Originally posted by W12_Ranger View PostComment

Lots of fans must have been singing it wrong then...it was Sir Les, might have been 'Say Leslie Ferdinand' when he first come back from Turkey but by 92/93 it had developed into Sir LesOriginally posted by jfish View Post
Also the whole Sir Les thing came from as far as I'm aware due to fact that he was such a gent and it some how caught onLast edited by W12_Ranger; 10-12-2013, 10:45 PM.Comment

I thought it was say, but then again i thought the lyrics were "Better days inside" to that song with "Betty davis eyes" so what the fook do i know."I could think of a number of what I think would be interesting (and not even "gotcha") questions. But they wont be asked"

it was definitely "Say" not "Sir" that's how the song would start usually after he'd banged one in and if I remember rightly it also involved alot of surging around!! Saaaaaaay Les-lie Feeerdi-nand Saaaaaaaaaay Les-lie Feeerdi-nand...Comment

Deepcut's right. Incenzo misheard the song and reported it in the press as Sir Leslie.Originally posted by DeepcutHoop View Post
