Tribute from David Lascelles, Earl of Harewood.

Another great has gone.

Peter Lorimer was certainly one of those: the club’s top scorer, unlikely ever to be overtaken, and legendary for the ferocity of his shooting.

I swear I remember an occasion when a hapless full-back headed one of his free kicks off the line and ended up unconscious in the back of the net.

Like all of the great Don Revie team – too many of them now gone – he had more than one string to his bow: he could beat his man, whip in lethal crosses and tackle back too.

What a player – and what a lovely man.

All of us Leeds fans will miss him.

David Lascelles, Earl of Harewood

Honorary President, Leeds United
