Peter Lorimer On Bremner Ending His Leeds Career

Interview with Peter Lorimer.

[@moodyblue1964]

You will never be forgotten Peter. Thank you for being my inspiration.

[@harrywix]

Peter was the complete attacker. Brilliant shooting technique and later an excellent midfielder. A gentleman on and off the pitch. Was a superstar in the 60-70s and would be today. Must be delighted his beloved Leeds are on the way back.

[@ph8197]

Your a legend Peter, thanks for the memories

[@footyfan1248]

From a Man U supporter - RIP Peter, you was one of the best

[@leedsboy64]

good man

[@terrysmith9362]

from an LFC supporter he was truly a great playrr

[@barnbersonol]

That's a shocking way to have treated such a great, great servant to the club.

[@rogerallan4134]

What a player ,Peter was quite brilliant. MOT 👍

[@spongebob8678]

my old pal peter was a hell of a nice guy..rip peter

[@billybigtime2808]

Maybe Billy thought i don’t really need to tell a player who’s 38 why i won’t be using him anymore but I take his point a respectful conversation should have been had to end it correctly

[@johncunningham9277]

You will always be a legend Peter, M.O.T

[@frankmc2195]

Peater had the best shot I have ever seen.RIP .from a Everton saporter

KING BILLY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE GREATEST TEAM OF THE DECADE

[@riobabic8960]

Peter Lorimer and Billy Bremner both played for Toronto ! Great players !

[@johnziegelbauer4999]

Had the pleasure of meeting Peter in 1980 . He was coming off an injury and playing for the Toronto Blizzards reserve side against Koge from Denmark . Our club was playing a friendly against Koge the following week so we went to watch . Our team mate Tommy Henderson introduced us to him .

[@leedsboy64]

As a Leeds fan of 45 years this always pissed me off Peter was playing well at the time and Billys treatment to Peter was bang out of order both Billie and Peter would walk into any all time Leeds United sides Don would never have done this to one of his boys never the less RIP Don Albert Billie Paul Norman Trevor and Gary

Don't forget John Charles

[@richardbranton7396]

He did it to Albert johanneson and Bobby Collins

[@LG-kl3co]

Great player...great memories...from Espana 😎

[@peterh1353]

Great guy and was lucky enough to see him play at his prime and at the end. Could still play well even in his late 30's. Bremner was Leeds greatest player and was almost Leeds United. Yet he wasn't a manager and he wasn't a coach. Did some really stupid things in his life and he was a bit of a coward. Never tried anything when he didn't have bigger guys to run behind.

[@stevebagnall1553]

Billy loved going to his local the Irwin on Selby Road and playing dogs with the pensioners, he bought their ale, only one rule don't talk about football.

[@amandacerasale4679]

He had one hell of a shot of on him Peter Lorimer that is.

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

The Commercial was an old Friday afternoon drinking hole when Pete had it...👌🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@BILLYnKAREN]

@chrisman81 Yeah!!! thats right, tap ins, 100mph tap ins sometimes.

[@pstotto]

That conversation sounds just like the ending of Frank Casper's career at the 'behest' of Norman Hunter...

[@paulmegyery9297]

i was at the game at barnsley which i think ended lorimers career at leeds. he was one of our best players then which at his age shows what class he was. i know billy wanted ian snodin to push leeds on but lorimer still had a roll to play...... absolute class...

[@mohdazmi10]

he could be as influential as Johnny Giles did as a no 10 midfielder then but maybe Billy had other ideas.

[@shanemcnamara5224]

38 years old and he was shocked that hes time was up?!

[@YerDa67]

Scottish legends.

[@esseel7896]

Pete Lorimer. what a kicker. total respect. What the hell was Billy thinking not saying anything. gutting. love Billy too and hate this sour taste to the historic team mates.

[@paulkersey9857]

@@stevekendrick2008 They were only truly robbed once. In 1973 by AC Milan and their paid for ref. With Chelsea, they came up against a team that were prepared to give as good as they got. Bullies, coming unstuck against bigger bullies.. They were unlucky in 1975, but 2 Bayern players had their careers ended by disgraceful Leeds fouls. So I'd put that one down to karma. Leeds had a great team, that could beat anyone on their day. Sadly, they will always be remembered for their dirty play. Revie was a great manager, but he had one terrible fault. He could not bear defeat and was prepared to do anything to avoid it.

I wonder why they didn't include him in the Scotland squad for WC '78. He was 32 but still good enough.

[@SMSJSC]

Mark - are you sure it was Lorimer who was banned? I thought it was Bremner, Harper and McCluskey.

[@dlamiss]

Think he is talking about Bremner

[@eddyvideostar]

Diammis: Bremner was one of these? This was ironic!

[@markaustin5158]

Lorimer was struggling to keep his place in the Leeds team by 1978, Boz.

[@Kelly14UK]

@Mark Sesum Yup. Bremner and maybe Jimmy spring to mind.

I like how the highlight reel at the beginning shows a series of tap-ins. Because that's what Lorimer was famous for - tap-ins.

Great Comment, Paul: We are all British, and this keeps us together as a world unit.

[@jamessim1858]

Sometimes when down in England you speak a bit slower in order to be understood. I myself when a student at Manchester University had to do this but when i returned to Scotland I was eager to speak in my true tongue. However I hate when some upwardly mobile Scottish speakers when returning to our great country keep up their manufactured English talk....a good example of this would be Denis Law!

In all fairness Billy was a proper little B.o.l.l.o.c.k.s.

[@Isleofskye]

Er, you could have always asked him Peter! lol Like someone hasn't spoken to you for a while and they say " You could have rung me" and so could have YOU! LOL

[@eddyvideostar]

To: Isleofskye: Yeah -- that would have been possible; but, then, as the time elapses, we tend to lose contact, not even the availability of each other, or their phone numbers, but the psychological aspect behind this: prolonging the perpetual procrastination. One does feel slightly uncomfortable, though, even under regular circumstance; but something as salient as this -- probably, he just wanted to let sleeping dogs lie. Even in my situation, I have many numbers of associates, co-workers, relatives, but wary and would feel odd regarding intruding into their busy lives after a long time -- especially, rehashing any negative aspect. To cap it off: calling up a boss who fired you! I don't think so. Not the proper psychological protocol.

[@Isleofskye]

@@eddyvideostarSorry to intrude into your busy life and It may not be the ProperPsychological Protocol to Prolong Perpetual Procrastination so,II thought I would leave it for 4 years before replying.. I meant that Peter should have asked immediately and,in this case, given they were friends and teammates,I don't think it unreasonable for Peter to ask why he was fired.

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Sounds like he had lost 80% of his Scottish accent he'd been at Leeds so long.

[@robwatson9014]

millwallholdin

[@stevekendrick2008]

Don't think he was bitter. Just unhappy that Bremner didn't tell him why his career was over. I imagine Bremner didn't want to tell a friend and co-player the reason why but he should have done.

[@eddyvideostar]

To Steve Carl: Peter Lorimer was a legend and had a large leg, leading the league in long range licks. It was enigmatic how Bremner was taciturn regarding the conclusion of Lorimer's career. I believe it was the age aspect: Bremner probably wanted to take the team into another direction, installing more youth into the system. Management are usually obsessed with the future and try to tweak delicate aspects, which may subsequently loom large. I am guessing but if he were informed of the reason, Lorimer may have tried to correct the situation -- not really what Bremner would have wanted.

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@eddyvideostar A large leg??

[@eddyvideostar]

Dear Clive Bindley: _A large leg:_ letting me linger longer with the lilting alliterations. What I meant by this, was that he had the most powerful shot in the league, of which the speed, trajectory, and momentum would bemuse and bewilder any goalkeeper.

[@oleggorky906]

Leeds fans remembering the old times clogging their opponents to death, only to be perennial runners up. Aye! They will be crying into their methylated spirits and Frosty Jack's at the memories of the failures of yesteryear. But it's something to take comfort in as they sleep on the park benches of Beeston, Middleton, Belle End, Gipton, Seacroft, Harehills and Halton Moor et al, eagerly awaiting their i-movo DSS payments.
