[Football] Peter Lorimer RIP

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

RIP. A legend for Leeds and Scotland.

Loads of pens, but what an incredible goal tally for a midfielder.

When I very young (just highlights on BBC and ITV then), my older brothers used to tell me about his goalscoring and that rocket of a shot.

Mighty shot on the boy Lorimer

No. It was deffo Palarse.

Mind you I did have four pints in the pub before the game (the most I have ever had at lunch time in my entire life, and at the time I was 9 stone of stringy piss) so.....

Crikey!

Palace were in div 3 at the time

Leeds scored at Arsenal & West Ham in your time bracket

Remember going up to ER as a youf in 84. Lorimer was back at Leeds, and the fans would chant "90 miles an hour" whenever he got the ball .We lost a tight game 0-1, and Andy Ritchie scored for them, ba***rd. Sad news.

The 74 WC Finals were my first on the box. I loved that Scotland squad, so much quality.

Including:
Harvey, Donachie, McGrain, Jardine, Buchan, Bremner, Lorimer, Cormack, Dalglish, Law, J.Johnstone, Jordan.

Probably the greatest Scots squad of our time. Difficult to think of others that would be better in their positions- sadly they underachieved.
