An absolute hero ... Lovely humble intelligent man with a very special footballing talent... always worth listening to... Thanks ror all the memories Eddie 👍👏

Can you imagine how much this legend would be worth in the 21st century ! Saw him and the other Leeds legends many times on the terraces at Elland Rd back in the late 60's and early 70's ....... I was at the game against Burnley when this guy scored two unbelievable goals ! Leeds fans would remember that game ! Superb footballer was Eddie !

His performance against Chelsea in the cup final at Wembley in 1970 is the best exhibition of wing play you'll ever see. He came to a football weekend course that I was on in 1978 and I'll never forget the feeling of looking across the pitch and thinking I'm on the same field as Eddie Gray.

Great bloke, great player in a great Leeds United team and a part of my childhood.

Bobby Collins was the reason that I met Erica my wife. After he broke his leg in Turin, he made his comeback at Old Trafford on May 19 1966, the season being, the match had been delayed due to the World Cup. It was on a Thusday night, Thursday being Pay Day, so with two friends, we travelled on the train to Old Trafford, but, without thinking, we ended up in the Stretford End, The rivalry of today didnt exist then, so we fealt safe being there. Recently, George Best had openned a Boutique, and was photographed in the papers, along with Denis Law, pouring Champagne at the top of a Pyramid of Chapagne glasses, so that it would cascade down the pyramid into the multiple glasses bellow. Best didn't play that night (Probably, because he was a naughty boy) but Law did, and as I was shouting profanities at him, I fealt something soft glance across my head, as I looked around, there was three teenage girls, with red & white scarfs, the guilty one of them exclaimed at the top of her voice, Don't you dare call Denis, we chatted, but, unbeknown to me, by the end of the game, 1-1 draw, this 17 year old had fallen for me. They helped us back to the station in time for the train, we exchanged scarfs and (work) telephone numbers. She then throwed her arms around my neck, and desperately kissed me. As a reult, all of the Leeds ans on the train shouted a large cheer. Singing all the way home, (A 45 min Railway journey) to the tune "She'll be coming round the Mountain",,, " He's been to Old Trafford and he scored" by the end of the 1966 World Cup finals, just a few days before my 18th birthday, we were soul mates. We married the following year, and now 55 years later, still treasure the day that Bobby Collins made a comeback at Old Trafford for Lees Utd

A truly,world class player.

I'm a Derby fan since the 60s. Went through all the Clough-Revie fury. What I'd give now to be at Lorimer's bar with Hunter, Clarke, Jones and Gray and others. They're all quality people and enjoy a laugh. And couldn't Eddie play? (I bet he did nutmeg Big Jack again.)

Eddie Gray a big fat thank you for ddd keeping Rochdale in the football league when you was Rochdale manager. You brought some great Leeds players ie Derek Parlane Arther Graham , LYNDON Symonds who's goals keeped us up .A big thank you ! Best wishes Chris .

A Great Player and Legend back in time for Leeds United 👍

Great player in a great team and we had some tough games against them over the years. John Dempsey ex Chelsea Player

Eddie Gray was sn amazing player, one of the best players to EVER play the game. His skills were & still are just amazing to watch. Some people talked about Best. Eddie a " TRUE LEGEND & GENTLEMAN " of the game & of Leeds United. His down to earth personality just pours out as much as his "SILKY SKILLS" were. My favorite player to have EVER donned a LEEDS UNITED shirt. My very very best to you and your brother Frank Gray. MOT, LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS !!!

Sir Eddie, given his life to LUFC.

loved eddie at rochdale great man and true gent

Eddie Gray one of the greatest wingers of all time especially when he was in full flight dazzling to watch

Legend !!

I know that Leeds United have recently appointed a new manager - But I wish they had given the job to this man - Eddie Gray - Once more. He knows Leeds United through and through. And can see what the club means to him. We love him. Plus he was a great player. Injuries were the only thing that prevented him from becoming a bigger legend then he already is...

I remember the goal Eddie Gray scored against Burnley, in either 1969 or 1970 at Elland Rd. From the bye line he beat about six players in the most outrageous display of skill which Pele, Maradona, Messi and Best would have been proud of. His first goal in that game was pretty good too, an exquisite chip from about thirty yards. I think the commentator was called Keith Macklin of Yorkshire TV. He was agog with superlatives !! Eddie Gray was a fabulous player. I also remember him destroying the Chelsea fullback in the 1970 F.A. Cup Final at Wembley.

Great days ,my hero ,I tried to emulate him at school on the left wing and earned a nickname ' Eddie' which has stuck with me to this day .Thanks for the great memories ,would have given anything to have met you .

My fav player Eddie from my dads era brilliant player and brought our youngest through like H and woody love my Celtic and Leeds Utd

great player!

Billy was brilliant but Eddie was so good, he dipped a shoulder and went the other way. He had Velcro on his boots. He was our George Best. Archie his great nephew is the one to watch. My all time Leeds favourite a class act.

Sum great players came out of castlemilk over the years 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The automatic closed captions are just hilarious 😆 they canna cope with the accent.

Still cant work out why with so many great players we did not win more.

Mr Leeds United. Had the pleasure of meeting him at a charity match in 2012

👍

Hardly credible to people now, Don hiding in the bedroom! 'Persuading' the headmaster to let him leave! I loved watching Ediie though, I first saw him in about 68, then I was a season ticket holder in the mid-70s, where he was still great, if more prone to being injured. Lovely man, too.
