Biography

Person.

Peter Lorimer was a Scottish footballer closely associated with Leeds United. Recruited from Dundee, he made his first-team debut in 1962 at the age of 15. His powerful shooting became a defining feature of his play, and he helped Leeds win league championships in 1969 and 1974, the FA Cup in 1972 and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups.

Across two spells at the club, Lorimer scored 238 goals in 707 appearances. He also won 21 Scotland caps and played in North America. After retirement he became a Leeds ambassador and contributed to the match programme, maintaining his connection with the club until his death in 2021.
