Peter Lorimer Leeds United Goals Collection

[@andrewbooth4776]

His sheer power overshadowed his dribbling and passing skills. He was also a good goalkeeper. What a great player by anybodies standards.

Love you Peter. You was may the biggest heŕo in NORWAY back in the early/mid 70ts. You made thausends of Norwegian kid to love LEEDS UNITED. And they still do. We're about 5500 paying members in the Norwegian LEEDS supporters club, mostly men in the 50-60 years age. And MANY is LEEDS UNITED FOR LIFE because of the man with the hardest shot in the game. Rest in Peace great great LEEDS LEGEND. Thanks for all you've done for my love to LEEDS UNITED. Kjell Terje Esperås Norway 🇧🇻💙💛

RIP Peter Lorimer. You were one of the strikers I pretended to be in the park when I was little. I would always score volleys shouting "Lorimer!"

virtualgaz 2 days ago (edited) Thanks so much Jimmy for posting this. Lorimer was one of my idols as a kid along with T Francis, J Greenhoff, B Latchford and Keegan etc. I was born within a mile of Birmingham's St. Andrews ground and all my family were ardent Blues supporters of course, but I always had an eye on Derby Cty and Leeds because their games were always exciting, chaotic at times, lots of goals and very muddy in the case of the Baseball Ground. I remember vividly Derby 8-2 Tottenham and Leeds 7-0 Southampton so exciting as a 7 year old! Liverpool were the ultimate back then in terms of execution but Derby & Leeds were such a great teams full of maverick players like Bremner, Hector, Gemill and Lee. Lorimer beat some of the best and celebrated goalies of the time - possible ever? Balls-out no gloves or leggings blokes who dived upon frozen mud like Corrigan, Stepney, Clements and an ageing Banks. God I could talk all night about those days! Thanks again mate, I was temporarily taken back to the halcyon days of football to a time before the weight of the world had crushed my spirit - and before soccer became a middle-class advertising campaign full of millionaire princesses whose names I struggle to even pronounce!

LORIMER was a today ellend road

[@virtualgaz]

WOW, I watched it all again with tears in my eyes mate. Midlands teams were strong back then: Stoke, Derby, Blues & Wolves... happy to say V*lla din't come good until the Gray and Little era. What great support Lorimer had from his midfielders. I loved the yellow away kit - painted my Big League and Striker players in Birmingham and Leeds colours. Old man very happy!

You have good taste Vera , many dont realize just how quick he was he wasn't all about power either he could finish from anywhere and had real skill and finesse .The best finisher of a generation and the best striker of a ball ive ever seen .

[@raygrange7312]

Never forgot as a kid when the force of Lorimers shot knocked Alex Stepney into the net. One of the greatest.
