Billy Bremner (9 December 1942-7 December 1997) was a Scottish international footballer still remembered for his fiery temper and determination described by the Sunday Times as '10 stone of barbed wire’. He was the driving force behind the brilliant Leeds United side of the late 1960s and early 1970s with his superb passing and incisive forward runs. As captain, Bremner led the side to two league championships, in 1968-69 and 1973-74, FA Cup success against Arsenal in 1972, and two Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (later UEFA Cup) in 1968 and 1971. He was also voted Footballer of the Year in 1970. Capped 54 times for Scotland, Bremner led the Scots to the 1974 World Cup Finals in West Germany, where they were unbeaten and unlucky to be eliminated on goal difference. Famously short-tempered, he and Liverpool's Kevin Keegan became the first British players to be sent off at Wembley when they exchanged blows during the 1974-75 Charity Shield match. This was followed by a life ban for Bremner from the Scottish FA after a trip to Copenhagen for a European Championship match. After Leeds United's defeat in the 1975 European Cup Final, Bremner moved to Hull City, and then finished his playing career at Doncaster. He returned to Leeds as manager in 1985 but was sacked three years later. He died of a heart attack two days before his 55th birthday. A statue of Bremner was erected outside Elland Road as a tribute to the club's greatest captain and, according to an official poll of supporters, the club's greatest ever player.
