I met Lorimer a few times.....sat with him through a match at Palace one year. Very nice man.
I am STILL furious about his stolen goal in Paris. Apart from winning us the match (which I have no doubt it would have BC their 2 late goals would never have happened) he would have set a record as the only player to have scored in every round of the European Cup. I think my favourite Lorimer goal was v Man City when he tried to lift the ball over a defender 25 yds from goal...... the ball clipped the lads shoulder and looped up in the air so he thought bugger it and just lashed an incredible dipping volley past Corrigan into the top corner. I also loved his unique penalties.......he would just blast it basically at the keeper but wd slice across it slightly to send it into the top corner. Re Fulham I thought the 2nd goal was superb......some lovely touches from Bamford and Raphinha.
