Mine is Johnny Giles. Fantastic midfielder, great distribution of ball, added vision and skill to Bremner's drive and tenacity.
Yeboah is the best Leeds player I remember.... what a funking player.
Giles = Legend
Johnny giles without doubt a terrific player with a good engine inside him I remember the european final in paris against bayern munich he ran the show single handed
'Hot Shot' Peter Lorimer is my all time favourite.
His disallowed (but perfectly valid) goal in the European Cup Final against Bayern Munich is still a deep scar in my memory.
take your pick from:
Cooper, Reaney, Hunter, Bremner, Charlton, Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Giles, Gray, and Madeley.
Lasher Lorimer was always my favourite, but the best? That had to be Billy Bremner: everything a Leeds United footballer should be
Well in my younger days when I thought I could play football as good as anyone I ran around striking the ball and shouting "Lorimer"....so I think he must hold a spot deep in my favorites list!..
Only when I got a bit older and realized a shot like a feather duster striking a mallet did not leave me in the same class as the guy I tried to be and I thought no, football will never come a knocking!..
So now I know why I'm sat here writing this!..
And one thing I cant forget about him is his Pen against Wimbledon, stood directly behind the goal when he hit it, I had a gut feeling he was going to miss it, but their keeper was Brilliant!..
"Cooper, Reaney, Hunter, Bremner, Charlton, Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Giles, Gray, and Madeley."
Agreed, but Bremner /Gray/Reaney just edge it for me in that order .
Also John Charles was immense
Harry Kewell ................
Well.............if you're going to be silly.............Tomas Brolin ...
Peter Lorimer - pure class and the hottest shot in football. Let's hope his "legend" status returns after Bates has long departed.
Stevie, a lot of people on here seem to discount what PL did for LUFC, bit sad to see him being ripped apart tbh .
i know someone will say "He's only himself to blame" , but i still think people should respect him for the great player he was .
Here's a little question for you's!..
When Lorimer was demolishing cross bars and making the keepers at that time quake!..
Who had the second hardest shot in football at that time?..
Highland ......
I may not agree with some of the tosh he puts in the paper or what he says. But he IS a legend of the club and deserves a bit more respect than he often gets.
Batts.
Too young to remember his first stint, but he was still a great midfielder during his second stint
Agreed. Still my favourite player.
I'm a member of a well-known gym chain and when in Leeds I use the local branch. I recently bumped into Peter Lorimer's brother-in-law who gave a little more insight into the current situation. (He was himself closely associated with Leeds United until Bates' arrival)
Lorimer is an employee after all and paid a wage for fulfilling certain duties.
I accept all of this and as you say he's remained a legend, my comments were more of a general nature viz-a-viz Leeds United fans but I do get frustrated when he openly contradicts his statements in the YEP.
I've always asked if anyone who's boss knows they do the talking, would they say anything against the bloke in charge of them when its their job to do as he says!..
Mind you, even in the not talking department its the workers job to do as the boss says, so a lot of "P45's shooting around if that's the case!..
