Always Looked Forward to playing Leeds in the 60s and 70s RiP Peter Lorimer

[Cirrus_Minor]

That sad, great player with outstanding shot. RIP

[jdrobbo]

From what I’ve seen of him, he had a tremendous shot on him. Looked top-class at his job

[ClaretTony]

Sad news. It was reported a couple of weeks ago that he was fighting a serious illness. Top player with one hell of a shot on him.

[Bosscat]

RIP Peter Lorimer

[ALP]

Saw him play quite a few times, he was one hell of a player. Rest in peace and sincere condolences to his Family and Friends.

90 miles per hour they used to call him

RIP it seems as though the Revie Leeds team are slowly passing away love them or hate them they were effective.

I've looked on YT but can't find any film of it but I recall one match in particular at Molineux where he was booming missiles in from ridiculous distances. I don't think he scored that day - but stand to be corrected - but the keeper (Parkes?) was out of it.

RIP

1 goal every 3 games at Leeds as a midfielder. A ratio matched in the following decade by John Wark at Ipswich. Both scored a lot of goals from outside the box. One of the more likeable Leeds players: hard but not thuggish.

One of my standout childhood memories was the Leeds Sunderland cup final. Like a lot of people I can probably recite that Leeds team... they were that established as household names. Lorimer was one of the stars of that team... I was so happy they lost.

[Culmclaret]

Leeds gave the appearance of dominating for around a decade without ever winning that much. I think that was because the Leeds match was everyone’s cup final. The world then seemed divided between Leeds and Anti-Leeds...to the tune of the Dambusters

[tiger76]

I knew he was ill, but it's still a shock to hear this news.

RIP Peter

[robclaret]

RIP Peter Lorimer. Some amazing goals for club and country.

[HahaYeah]

RIP.

The Leeds fans used to sing '90 miles an hour'.

[Terrier]

Made his debut at 15 year old and that was when the game
was a lot tougher!

[Pstotto]

Remember in the football programs for Burnley and they ask Colin Waldron what his favourite away ground is and it's Old Trafford, whatever.

... Leeds thought they'd do the same so they're interviewing and they ask what's your favourite away ground and they say Molineux...

[beddie]

Saw him play many times, he was a player and what a shot on him. RIP Peter.

I knew he was ill, but it's still a shock to hear this news.

RIP Peter

Cancer I believe sadly

A relative gentleman in a very hard team. I know we don’t like them much but Revie’s Leeds were a very good side. And I’d prefer the way they played then to the almost non-contact sport we have now. Can you imagine Bremner rolling over 10 times whilst screaming and holding his face?
Lorimer was a great player in a team of pretty damn good players.
