A player that will forever feature in the pantheon of greats for Leeds United & Scotland..Bless his soul 🙏🏼

[@anish8502]

Rest in peace, Peter Lorimer. What a shot he was. Absolute bullet striker despite being a midfielder.

[@sharkonfire1963]

Rip legend ... I'm italian I remember Peter in 70's with Leeds united fantastic team

[@mrtoptenatten]

👍👍👍⚽🥅

[@hughmacfarlane9662]

First time I saw Peter Lorimer was back about 1962. He was playing for Scotland schoolboys , at Ibrox Stadium against England , crushing them and giving them a mighty sore head . I think I am correct in saying he scored twice and made at least two very good efforts to break the crossbar. He left me highly impressed with his overall game skills , and now he leaves me much saddened by his leaving . Thanks for all the memories Peter.

Rest in peace Peter! Remember him hitting the crossbar from about 30 yards in a F.A.cup tie against Rochdale in the 70s at Spotland the crossbar was still shaking 5 minutes after. Condolences to his family😞

[@25dimensionsfrancis42]

Do not forget players then played in a muddy swamp and when the ball got wet it was as heavy as a cannon ball . But it still almost burst the back of the net from Peter.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Peter Lorimer.This is a man that could hit a ball harder than a mule kicked.Leeds have lost some brilliant former players over the past year.Jack Charlton,Norman Hunter,Trevor Cherry, now Peter Lorimer, and Gordon McQueen is suffering from dementia.RIP PETE🙏

Paul Meadly aswell

[@derekharrison1582]

@@michaelpower4372 Paul Madeley died in 2018 Michael,but still a top player.He was what was known as a utility player,which meant he could play in most positions.

[@michaelpower4372]

@@derekharrison1582 Yes the Rolls Rice of the team. Don RAVIE called him. A great great player. RIP. Never let the team down no matter were he played.
