I am a proud Welshman but I cannot remember a finer player with the guts, determination and leadership qualities of the best player to ever grace a soccer pitch than Billy Bremner!
It was a pleasure as a young lad to have witnessed Billy & Leeds United. I didn't realise at the time how special they were & what an inspirational, never say die leader he was. It's only with the passing of time that I can be proud to say I was there, I saw Billy, I saw Leeds. What a team. RIP Billy.
I am a massive Liverpool fan. Back in the day of Billys time and team Leeds were the team setting the standards. Billy and Johnny in mid-field. Incredibly good.
A top player and great captain....that goal against Celtic is awesome given the context...a hard man and inspiring legend of the game,Made by the great man Don Revie
my wife was his daughter's best friend when they lived up temple newsam in leeds and used to stay at his house most weekends, when i asked her what he was like she just said "he was donnas dad, a lovely bloke" i have to say i am very envious that she knew this great man. RIP king billy
Marked Billy jr in a school game 1974 aged 11 Billy Sr came into the changing rooms after ruffled my hair and said" great game son " still makes me shiver thinking about it
Every up and coming Scottish player should watch Bremner,Mackay,Law and Dalglish.Be inspired by there heart and dedication.Everyone a legend with there English clubs.What kind of history would these clubs have if these never took part in it.Think about it!
I never said he had the skill of Best. When you pick a team you have balance - well, modern teams don't go for that so much. You call them scum, I assume you are a Man Utd fan? Is not Roy Keane 'scum' then. Now for some myth busting about how Leeds were hated. Footballer of the year voted by press - Bobby Collins 1965, jack Charlton 1967 and Bremner 1970. First PFA player of the year Norman Hunter . And you can't vote for your own team.
Also, football league voted top 100 players from 1888 to 1998 and bremner, giles and hunter was in it. Yes, Hunter. Did you live through this era or get your info second hand?
George Best won his last major trophy aged 22 and then wasted the rest of his career. He may have been the most skilled player Britain has seen, but greatness is measured in many other ways. Billy Bremner was a greater player than Best because of his commitment, discipline and passion as well as his undoubted talent.
"If every manager were given the choice of one player to add to their squad some, no doubt, would toy with the idea of George Best. But the realists, to a man, would have Billy Bremner" - John Arlott
I was in my early teens when Leeds started their run of success, and I absolutely hated them. Their fans would agree, they were the pantomime villains of football at that time - they introduced gamesmanship, referee-beasting etc to the British game. Bremner I especially despised - an annoying, dirty little cheat. However, towards the end of his Leeds career, it was rumoured he was joining my team - "F*** yes!" was my instinctive response. I pictured him in our colours and suddenly my view of him changed - here was someone you would definitely want beside you in the trenches! It didn't happen, but once that all conquering Leeds team broke up, I began to see him for what he was - a brave little tough-nut with an enormous heart in an era when it was actually physically dangerous to play football. It's so unfair that he died relatively young, robbed of the chance to enjoy his family into old age. Billy epitomises a wonderful era of football, when he was happy to play the villain, and is responsible for so many of my great memories of that time.
A very good player, served club and country. Those negative comments just show those people know nothing. A real footballer, I bet Dave Mackay and Billy are having a drink in heaven now. Rip Billy and Dave.
Billy was my mentor when i was a young lad playing football in Australia. I was about 15-16 years old and him and Keane were my idols. I got a contact for an academy in America through their tough play alone ( a dying breed nowadays) but alas I didn’t take the offer and now I’m a commissioned officer in the RAAF and him and Keane were great mentors throughout
This man was not just a great footballer he was a great man and loved the game for what it was. He made a good wage but back in the time that he played footballers were not rich like they are today as their was not as much money in the game. He had passion for the game as it shows in the clip but better that that he loved to play it
In the 80's there was no anti Leeds campaign like we have now. It was only when Ferguson went to United when the legions of United fans - well, you could call them that, decided that they would turn part of the hatred to rubbish the great Leeds teams of the past. As we know they have fans all over the world, including in the media, and this has turned into a smear campaign. The Damned film was a complete joke. The way Billy Bremner is portrayed shows the cat is out of the bag.
3 Men are in a cafe. One says 'I have the longest arms in the world'. The second says 'I have the longest legs in the world'. The third says 'I am the greatest footballer'. So they all went to the Guiness world records The first man walks out satisfied saying 'I have the longest arms in the world' The second man also comes out saying 'I have the longest legs in the world' The third storms out of the building pissed off saying 'WHO THE FUCK IS BILLY BREMNER???
Never ever stopped moving. He could play too. Bremner and Giles were like a top-level three-man midfield.
I was fortunate enough to watch Billy Bremner. I was fortunate. Marching on Together.
Mr LEEDS UNITED. Always in our LEEDS hearts. MOT ALAW NORWAY
I am a proud Welshman but I cannot remember a finer player with the guts, determination and leadership qualities of the best player to ever grace a soccer pitch than Billy Bremner!
Watched this for the first time. Cried all the way through it.. Once Leeds, always Leeds
RIP Billy
& once a cheat & DIRTY player & so on etc
Danny Lewington Scotch is a drink ya southern troll .

I piss on Georgie Best
And George Best pissed his talent up the toilet wall. What a waste of space he was. Always letting people down and going off on benders.
Twenty years gone (nearly) already. The most important player Leeds ever had if not the best.

Great, great player both for Leeds and Scotland
They just don't make them like Billy Bremner any more.

The Damned film was a complete joke. The way Billy Bremner is portrayed shows the cat is out of the bag.
But Fergie got the last laugh when Leeds won the league in 1991-92. I’m Arsenal but I’ve always had a soft spot for Leeds.
my nickname as a player.rip
3 Men are in a cafe.
One says 'I have the longest arms in the world'.
The second says 'I have the longest legs in the world'.
The third says 'I am the greatest footballer'.
So they all went to the Guiness world records
The first man walks out satisfied saying 'I have the longest arms in the world'
The second man also comes out saying 'I have the longest legs in the world'
The third storms out of the building pissed off saying 'WHO THE FUCK IS BILLY BREMNER???
Believe it or not but he is my cousin
Billy Lowe Dinnae believe yi ya smelly tatty picking caravan dweller.
NOT!
God bless and may u come to Christ
Well, Billy Bremner was a Celtic man too Mr Lowe. So If you knew him you are privileged - a top fella and a top footballer. MOT.
He was dirtier than all your mums. He was a disgrace to the game.
Love you Billy
