Description:
Peter Lorimer and Paul Reaney here talking in the members lounge before the First Division clash with Peterborough United.
Don Revie signed Peter Lorimer in May 1962 for a fee of £25,000. Lorimer aged just 15 came from the schoolboy side Stobswell and made his debut for United when he was just 15 years old. Lorimer had two spells with United the first under manager Don Revie. Under Revie Lorimer made 616 appearances for the Whites in all competitions between 1963 to 1979 and scored 219 goals. In his second spell manager Eddie Gray brought him from UCD (University College Dublin AFC), he made another 76 appearances in all competitions for United between 1984 to 1985 and scored 19 goals. Peter 'Hot Shot' Lorimer is Leeds United's all time goal scoring record holder with 238 goals. Paul 'Speedy' Reaney joined United as an apprentice aged just 16 and worked with the Elland Road groundstaff. He soon made his first full appearance for Leeds just before his 18th birthday in the season 1962-63. Over his United career Reaney made 734 full appearances for the Whites in all competitions making the Right Back position and the number 2 shirt his own, only Billy Bremner and Jack Charlton have made more appearances for Leeds United. The lauded George Best put Paul Reaney in his personal top ten players of all time and acknowledged the fact that over his career only Paul Reaney as managed to man mark him out of a game.
