Sean 6,309 Posted February 28, 2021 A seemingly legit twitter account of a Leeds United fan says he has died.No corroborating tweets as yet. Will keep an eye out. Could be a troll but the account looks like it is real and that of a Leeds fan from looking through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,099 Posted February 28, 2021 I'll wait until it's official before I add the 'dead' tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 28, 2021 Btw, for those wondering about the Lorimer situation apparently since then it looks as if he’s still alive and the mods even locked the Lorimer thread until more info is known. So may be a sigh of relief for all the cup pickers of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've maybe opted to wait for the "morning call". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,421 Posted March 1, 2021 Not here, @Paul Bearer. Joey means the Leeds forum the news came from. It's Lorimer thread got locked and 6 pages deleted after the Lorimer family themselves complained about it. He was alive but very ill as of midnight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
