    The great Leeds team of the 70s led by Billy, I used to love watching them play as you could guarantee a punch up or a player getting hacked down. RIP Billy

    As a Doncaster Rovers fan, the team Billy put together in the 1980's was a great side and a joy to watch. Billy left us too soon and is resting in the same cemetery as my dad.

    Billy sure died way too early, as a footballer, it was as if he had dynamite in his belly all the time. A great servant for Leeds utd. Maybe his ashes weren’t retained, but are now with the family . RIP Billy, a veritable legend and Tiger on the football field 🙏🙏. From a Liverpool fan

    As a Scottish Leeds Utd fan I was privileged to see Billy play in both jersey's. He is my all time favourite player who's pride and love for his team wouldn't allow him to give less than 100% commitment. He's often been described as a midfield dynamo because he was the beating heart of the team. RIP wee man, thanks for some wonderful memories ❤❤

      Times have changed, and the change is so much money has flowed into English football, so they have the best players and managers in the world to choose from. Scotland doesn’t get the TV money and billions invested, it’s just totally different. The BBC pay more for Gary linekear than they pay to Scottish football. Scott McTominay is a typical example, brilliant and class player for Scotland that isn’t guaranteed a game for his club

    A view from the UK. I've though about it long and hard and decided to post. I'm gonna be controversial here and disagree with the eulogies being posted. The Leeds teams that played under Don Revie were one of the dirtiest ever to have graced a field of play. Probably vied for top spot with Chelsea. They kicked skill off the park. Does anyone remember 'Norman Hunter bites your legs'? They kicked their way to success. I know the defence were told to 'stamp your mark with your first tackle' by you know who. I had a good friend called Trevor Cherry, (do your research), whom i played golf with, should anyone require my source.
