Everyone wanted to be Peter Lorimer when I was a kid, a Scotland hero with easily the hardest shot in the world!
Rest easy Peter.
Hector and Andudare’s posts are brilliant by the way.

There you go- a Hibs fan and a Leeds fan all my days - finally getting some success that I can relate to after some absolutely horrific years!

Saddened at the news
Jimmy mentioned that Peter took him to the boardroom to meet the bosses at Elland Road ,saying ,my Scottish Schoolboy team pal from Edinburgh !
Peter reminded Jimmy, that as a wee boy, his dad would take him on the train from Dundee to Edinburgh, to watch the Famous Five.
Peter would describe himself, when asked down in Leeds, as a Hibs fan .
RIP Peter LorimerLast edited by Mick O'Rourke; 21-03-2021 at 11:12 AM.

My all-time favourite strip. A close second is Scotland's 1978 World Cup strip.
Hibs have often had their away strip as yellow. Always reminds me when Hibs play in it of my old Leeds Utd kit.
What a legendary team they were in the 60's and 70' and Lorimer was a key cog in their machine. It was a privilege to see them play Hibs in 1973 in the UEFA Cup. If I could be transported back to see one game again it would be that one for me.

You're quite right, EVERYONE wanted to be him and hit that screamer, what a player he was, and what a shot he had. RIP Peter.

A lot of people on here see a Hibs strip from bygone years and relate it to a certain player, eg The Adidas one with Frank Graham Group on the front makes me think of John Collins.
Similarly I was always impressed with the Leeds United Admiral strip that had players numbers on their socks.
Peter Lorimer is the image I get when I picture it.

The first time I saw Leeds at Easter Road they played in their blue and yellow quarters. Made John Charles look even bigger than he was.

Interesting he had such a hard shot for a fairly average-built bloke. Like Cropley or Riordan.

sadly another Leeds great has passed, Terry Cooper 77
tough couple of years for Leeds fans along with Peter Lorimer, Trevor Cherry, Paul Madeley, Jack Charlton, Norman Hunter all passing
also a player mentioned in previous posts Mick Bates passed away just two weeks backLast edited by cabbageandribs1875; 01-08-2021 at 06:24 AM.

Can hardly believe that !!
Let me explain. Up at 5.45 this morning to take out my black lab for an empty. Back by approx 6.15.
Sitting having a cup of tea and switched on telly. Caught up with news and then decided to have a look on channel 81 Talking Pictures ( I love it...I know I'm an auld saddo)
Anyhow this old black and white picture is on and the scene is a guy sitting in his office at reception and a visitor comes in. The guy asks the visitor if he can help him and whats his name? The visitor replies " Mr Terence Cooper"
So that got me thinking. Terry Cooper, now he was some player! lol Was thinking of him against Jimmy Johnstone in 1970. He probably played against us 68/69. He had been replaced by Frank Gray by the time I saw him against us at Elland Road in 1973.
To come on here and then find Terry Cooper had died was spooky!
Hope I haven't dreamt all this
