Peter Lorimer

Bob 70-71

Peter Lorimer 'what a shot he could tie them in a knot'. He was all my friends' hero, he scored loads of goals and we all called him 'Ninety', because he hit his shots at the mythical, '90-miles-an-hour'! Sadly, I all but missed seeing this stage of his career, but was a season ticket holder when he returned to the club as a player when his friend, Eddie Gray was manager.

Clearly overweight, and physically unrecognisable as the star of the Glory Years, Ninety was consistantly the best player on the pitch. And I was even lucky enough to see him score that Leeds United record breaking goal. Still known to pop up on the telly and radio for Leeds United commentry - particularly for Leeds' UEFA Cup matches. Cheers for those Eighties years Peter !
