  English Football - Billy Bremner
Bremner, a diminutive but hard midfield player, was scouted by Leeds while playing schoolboy football in Scotland and signed for the Elland Road club in 1959, the day after his 17th birthday.
Bremner played magnificently as Leeds finally put the near-misses aside over the previous six seasons and won the 1974 League championship at a canter, setting a record of 29 unbeaten games to start the season which was only beaten by Arsenal in 2004.
Bremner was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2004 in recognition of his impact on the English league.

What Bremner has succeeded in doing is to create something wonderfully new out of something old, he's taken a patented approach to riffs, rhythms and melodic vocals, and refashioned them into a familiar sound that still manages to feel fresh and vital.
