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.
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
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 .
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
There's nothing more annoying and sad when a sportsman has to be pushed out because they can't accept its over,then trying to make a few quid by putting the boot in,sad
The birds tasty Lots of these old footballers are bitter Dont know why even in these days they were overpaid, another one who thinks the world owes him a living, bit like the single mothers of today
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.
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.
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.
As a non-Leeds fan, I never liked Bremner. I always thought Pete Lorimer was a bit of a geezer with his rocket-shots though. RIP Peter - Leicester fan.
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
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.
@@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.
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.
You will never be forgotten Peter. Thank you for being my inspiration.
Your a legend Peter, thanks for the memories
From a Man U supporter - RIP Peter, you was one of the best
good man

What a player ,Peter was quite brilliant. MOT 👍
from an LFC supporter he was truly a great playrr
That's a shocking way to have treated such a great, great servant to the club.
my old pal peter was a hell of a nice guy..rip peter
You will always be a legend Peter, M.O.T
Peater had the best shot I have ever seen.RIP .from a Everton saporter
An unfortunate ending to a great career he really
deserved some kind of explanation and a big thank you for all them appearances over the years
Great player...great memories...from Espana 😎
R.I.P. A fan from Hungary.
KING BILLY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE GREATEST TEAM OF THE DECADE

Don't forget John Charles
He did it to Albert johanneson and Bobby Collins
It was a crap time following the sacking of Eddie and the replacement of fledgling talent with the likes of Rocket Ron, Caswell and Harle.
@@johnmercury2272 your right John
Peter Lorimer and Billy Bremner both played for Toronto ! Great players !
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.
The Commercial was an old Friday afternoon drinking hole when Pete had it...👌🇬🇧🇬🇧
He had one hell of a shot of on him Peter Lorimer that is.
Scottish legends.
class player n they were robbed in the proper european cup final
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.
@chrisman81 Yeah!!! thats right, tap ins, 100mph tap ins sometimes.
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...
he could be as influential as Johnny Giles did as a no 10 midfielder then but maybe Billy had other ideas.
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.
That conversation sounds just like the ending of Frank Casper's career at the 'behest' of Norman Hunter...
Rest in piece legend
RIP
Dundee lad is Peter Lorimer.
@innit27 He's been very decent and grown up about it here.
@cozener1:
Yes I know. I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic.
Hardest shot in football...
Yep ⚽️👍
In Toronto Blizzard he was known as Thunderfoot !
Without a doubt!.....what a right foot!.....BOOM!.....(from an Evertonian)....
:ANOTHER GREAT LEAVES US FOR THAT STADIUM IN THE SKY
He’s my grandads cousin
I never knew he spoke in such a low voice.
Wow. How to lose the Scottish accent. He and his family stayed around the corner from me in Douglas, Dundee.
38 years old and he was shocked that hes time was up?!
I wonder why they didn't include him in the Scotland squad for WC '78. He was 32 but still good enough.
Mark - are you sure it was Lorimer who was banned? I thought it was Bremner, Harper and McCluskey.
Think he is talking about Bremner
Diammis: Bremner was one of these? This was ironic!
Lorimer was struggling to keep his place in the Leeds team by 1978, Boz.
@Mark Sesum Yup. Bremner and maybe Jimmy spring to mind.
A fine Dundee Stobswell lad
And look forward to seeing your new found leeds career ending once this take over goes through.
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.
There's nothing more annoying and sad when a sportsman has to be pushed out because they can't accept its over,then trying to make a few quid by putting the boot in,sad
The birds tasty
Lots of these old footballers are bitter
Dont know why even in these days they were overpaid, another one who thinks the world owes him a living, bit like the single mothers of today

In all fairness Billy was a proper little B.o.l.l.o.c.k.s.
As a non-Leeds fan, I never liked Bremner. I always thought Pete Lorimer was a bit of a geezer with his rocket-shots though. RIP Peter - Leicester fan.
Sounds like he had lost 80% of his Scottish accent he'd been at Leeds so long.
