Peter Lorimer, Leeds United’s record goalscorer, has died aged 74 after a long illness. He was a member of Don Revie’s great side of the 1960s and 70s and made 676 appearances for the club during two spells from 1962-79 and 1983-85.
Known as “Hotshot Lorimer”, the attacking midfielder was considered to have one of the hardest shots in the game. He scored 238 goals for Leeds and four in 21 appearances for Scotland, including the opener against Zaire in the 1974 World Cup. Lorimer also played for York, Toronto Blizzard and Vancouver Whitecaps among other clubs.
