Always seems like a lovely fella when jnterviewed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Sad news, I'm old enough for Lorimer to be a great hero of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctonjock Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sad news. Saw him play for leeds and Scotland. Still the top goalscorer of all time for leeds . Not bad considering he was a winger/midfielder . Was still involved with the club as ambassador until taken ill . Great man too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardest shot in football, they used to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Coleman shouting "Lorimer, one nil" frames the 70s in an instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
