DESCRIPTION:
His statue stands outside Leeds United's Elland Road home, serving as a daily reminder to fans, players and management staff alike of the huge role Bremner played in transforming the Yorkshire club into one of the most feared in Europe.

Very good biography of a great footballer! Well narrated with several contributions by players, managers, journalists etc.
