Biography
Person.
Billy Bremner (1942–1997) was a Scottish footballer and manager whose name is inseparable from the rise of Leeds United under Don Revie. A fiercely competitive midfielder and long-serving captain, he made 773 appearances for Leeds across seventeen years and led the side through the club’s most successful period, including two Football League championships, the FA Cup, the League Cup and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cups, as well as the 1975 European Cup final.
His reputation rests not only on trophies but on the intensity and authority with which he came to embody the team itself. Bremner later returned to Leeds as manager from 1985 to 1988, reinforcing a relationship with the club that extended well beyond his playing career.
