I actually checked with WIKI and just assumed his page had not yet been updated. Whilst such a post will, presumably, have been of little concern to Peter Lorimer himself, it will surely have been most distressing to any members of his family and close friends who might have read it. Shame on the unfeeling, heartless imbecile who posted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 There was a thread a week or two ago saying he was gravely ill but it has been announced today that he has passed away. RIP Peter and thoughts with his family, friends and all Leeds fans who have had probably the worst year in living memory when it comes to losing truly great players from their club.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Of all the Leeds players under Revie Lorimer was my favourite. Very sad news and my heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP Peter Lorimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Really exciting player on his day, always worth watching in a team that could otherwise be horrible. Did anyone really like that Leeds team of the 70s? Lorimer was very much the exception in being a genuine player who didn’t seem to have the cynicism that Revie appeared to instil in his players, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were tough but played dazzling football as a team. And of course three of the meanest - Hunter, Cooper and Jordan - went on to become heroes at City. Perhaps you’ve got the wrong goggles on.

That’s how I remember it, though I was thinking more of the team of the late 60s/early 70s, whereas Jordan came later. So Bremner, Giles, Mick Jones, etc. No doubting their abilities, but I remember not liking them at all at the time, and that was shared at the time by most of my friends.

I would say Revie started with a very pragmatic approach and not a lot of flair - until around 1967 - but gradually added style. Johnny Giles was tough but also very skilled and they also had the likes of Eddie Gray, Allan Clarke as they upped the fluency. In the early 70s I would say they were one of the best teams this country has seen. Undoubtedly they underachieved in terms of trophies though - too often the bridesmaid.

BS4 on Tour... Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Blimey - Leeds United has lost so many legendary servants over the last few years - I really feel for that club and its fans and the families of their lost legends - it’s been a really traumatic time for them all set against the backdrop of the horrendous last 12 months ...
