About this title

Synopsis

Peter Lorimer's blistering 76 mph strike left many a goalkeeper clutching thin air as he waltzed into the record books as a permanent member of the fantastic Leeds United team. He remains the only Leeds player to have scored over 200 goals, and he won 21 caps for Scotland. The highlight of his international career was the 1974 World Cup in West Germany, although his country was eliminated despite not having lost a single game. Travelling throughout Europe with Leeds at the height of their success, Lorimer witnessed bribery and corruption as well as glory and failure. Here he tells his story with humor, warmth, and a little controversy.
