Remember Albert (Albert Johanneson, Leeds Utd)

[@normanby100]

“Albert was quite a brave man to actually go on the pitch in the first place, wasn’t he? And he went out and did it. He had a lot of skill. A nice man as well… which is, I suppose, the more important thing, isn’t it? More important than anything,” GEORGE BEST.

What a grwat player and a beautiful yet sad programme on a legend gone astray RIP

[@chrisdenley4593]

My Dad told me of Albert as I grew up. He said Albert was one of the best players he ever saw. Albert could take control of the ball at full sprint, the ball thight high, and he never missed a step. Ran past players like they were never there. Thabks fir telling me Dad, and thanks to Albert. Thanks to to Mr Apfel, kept Alberts medals all these years. We both owe him.

These Football Times article brought me here. Never knew anything about him prior to reading the article. American pretty new to the sport, besides playing FIFA lol enjoying digging into the history of the sport. R.I.P Albert, legacy won't ever be tarnished in my eyes.

Rest in peace our dear Albert. Never forgotten.

[@michaelroberts7374]

He was forgotten when they took a week to find his corpse

[@bernardthegwp71020]

One of the saddest stories in Football history. RIP Albert

[@PeteSkins]

Sad to hear that the only stories are about him being an alcoholic. Barely any positive memories are mentioned. He lived such a sad life

[@normanby100]

Leeds' top scorer in their promotion season 63-64. Scored a goal against Newcastle that took everyone's breath away.

[@victorpearson1418]

Still time for a statue at Elland Road ?

[@michaelroberts7374]

He didn't even have a headstone for a long time

[@richardbranton7396]

Pity they couldn't find more him in action

[@stephenjones529]

I wonder how much racism played a part in Albert's mental health and eventual drink problems, he would have got real support these days, such a shame

[@patrickmckenna8592]

A major part. Utterly shocking.
