Huddersfield Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 It's always sad to read about great players suffering in this way. I saw him play on odd occasions down the years...obviously not one of the most popular players in this part of the world in his heyday but I think we'd all wish him well. He gave me one of those funny memories you always remember. I think it was probably late 70s when he was at York...the ball fell for him on the edge of the box; perfect Lorimer territory & we all just waited for the back of the net to bulge. Instead, he mishit it & it bobbled out of play somewhere near the corner flag. Cue a spontaneous chant from the main terrace of "Ninety miles an hour..." as he ran back upfield.

Shaundy Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 It was hot shot Lorimer for me before Hamish. Must be good for the guy to have people remember moments he provided decades ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
