When I hear the phrase 'dynamite comes in small packages' the first player that comes to my mind is Billy Bremner! The guy was a mini tornado on the pitch, and boy, did he leave his mark on Leeds United!
Some say he had the most iconic moments in the history of football, and others say “We agree” but when did this actually start? How and when did Billy fully realize that he is indeed a legend? Let’s slowly turn the pages of his book and find out the reality.
Born in Stirling, Scotland, in 1942 Bremner wasn't the tallest guy around, but he had a heart the size of a lion. Of course, Billy’s career is full of unforgettable moments that show just how skilled and determined he was on the field. But no matter how hard you deny it, these 3 iconic moments are what made him a TRUE FOOTBALL LEGEND.
On number 3 we have the 1968 Fairs Cup Final. The 1968 Fairs Cup Final was a massive game for Leeds United. They were dying to win their first big European trophy, and the pressure was on against Ferencváros, a really strong team from Hungary. But their captain, Bremner, was a legend. He wasn't just a bossy leader, he was an inspiration to his teammates with his boundless energy and tough tackling. At last, he ran his socks off and it was that effort that helped them win the game and put Leeds on the map in European football.
