Current Comments
1 comments so far (post your own)Billy Bremner (1959-78, Leeds United, Hull City,
Doncaster Rovers) was mainly a right-half. A small, red-haired, indefatigible midfield dynamo who was highly skilled, determined and brave. He was famously described by the chat show host Michael Parkinson as - "Five foot four inches of barbed wire".
Honours:- Leeds United - FL champions 1969/74,
FA Cup 1972, League Cup 1968, Fairs Cup 1968/71.
