Re: Peter Lorimer
Yes he was highly rated by many a fan.I supported the Boro just up the road and was always looking out for Leeds results and his goals.
Towards the end of his career with Leeds it looked like he had itchy feet and could not stay at one club for to long.
Then only returning to Leeds at the grand old age of 39 to play and score goals once again.
Proving I believe he was let go far to early.

R.I.P ..Mr Lorimer your life was a worth while cause.
Peter Patrick Lorimer Born(14 December 1946 –Died 20 March 2021) was a Scottish professional footballer, best known for his time with Leeds United and Scotland during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
An attacking midfielder, he was renowned for his powerful strikes from distance. From 1984 to 1985 he was club captain of Leeds, and remains the club's record goal scorer (with 238 goals in all competitions) and youngest-ever player. He has been voted the ninth-greatest Leeds player of all time and into the Greatest Leeds United team of all time.
After retiring as a player, Lorimer became a member of the Leeds board of directors, provided match commentary on BBC Radio Leeds and Yorkshire Radio, and wrote a regular column in the Yorkshire Evening Post. From April 2013 he held the position of club ambassador.[2]
