  Eddie Gray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Gray (born January 17, 1948 in Glasgow, Scotland) was a cultured winger who was an integral member of the legendary Leeds United football team of the 1960s and 1970s, later twice becoming the club's manager.
Gray was a schoolboy international for Scotland, and signed professional forms for Leeds at the age of 16.
Gray's unfortunate injury record - and the presence of Rangers winger Jim Baxter - meant that his Scotland career was short and infrequent.

 Frank Gray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Gray (born October 27, 1954 in Castlemilk, Scotland) was one of the new generation of Leeds United players of the mid-1970s charged with the task of maintaining the club's success after the Don Revie era.
Gray, younger brother of Eddie, joined the club under Revie as a 17 year old and made his debut in 1973, scoring a goal in his first start.
Gray also finished on the losing side earlier in the season when Forest were beaten in the League Cup final by Wolves, thanks to a single goal from unrelated fellow Scotsman Andy Gray.

 leedsfans.org.uk: Leeds United Player Profile: Eddie Gray
Eddie Gray was a truly great winger and his longevity is a tribute to his own tenacity and the confidence of Jimmy Armfield, who did much to keep him in the game when injury looked set to drive him into retirement.
Eddie had agreed to speak to me and I arrived pretty pleased with myself but, having nipped upstairs from reception to use the toilet, I began to lose my nerve when I was confronted by the huge display cabinet and pictures all around the walls of Eddie and his contemporaries.
Eddie Gray will always be up there with the best as a player and a person as far as I'm concerned.

Gray, who was in his second spell in charge at Elland Road, was informed of the decision at an "amicable" meeting this morning.
Gray was brought in as caretaker-manager after the sacking of Peter Reid in November, but was unable to save Leeds from relegation, which seemed inevitable from the start of the season.
Gray's reign - he was also in charge between 1982 and 1985 - was always likely to be short-term.

Eddie went past six (or was it seven?) Burnley defenders and neatly beat Peter Mellor in goal.
Eddie was part of the Don Revie team and a vital part at that.
To be fair, Eddie is still learning (after 20 years in the media game, so am I) and he has had to work hard on learning about other sports as well as soccer.

As Eddie Gray settled down at his home in the postcard village of Kirkby Overblow, near Harrogate, to watch highlights of the Monaco-Chelsea match, he would have been aware this was a game so far removed from the immediate aspirations of Leeds United as to be like a dream from his past.
Gray thinks Arsenal are the only team in the Premiership Leeds can't live with, a reasonable view after their 5-0 drubbing at Highbury two Fridays ago.
But Gray is a football realist and, in keeping with someone who has never sworn in his life, remains calm and philosophical about his prospects and those of the club.

As a 15-year-old prodigy, Gray (pictured) had been considered the Mozart of football, so much so that 35 clubs, including First Division champions Everton, FA Cup winners Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Celtic arrived on the doorstep of the family's council flat in Castlemilk, Glasgow offering promises of fame and fortune.
From the moment Gray made his first team debut aged 17, Revie was to call his ardent pursuit of the teenager "one of the most important footballing decisions I ever made in my life".
Gray's previous spell as player-manager at Elland Road from 1982-85 saw Leeds gain renown for the quality of their football without achieving promotion from Division Two.

Eddie's affection for 17-year-old Catherine (Daisy Eagan), whom he and his wife have raised since the death of her mother, also seems natural, except for Beatrice's quietly conveyed discomfort and Eddie's nervous observations about Catherine's sexuality: "You are walkin' wavy.
Eddie's barely able to stifle a ravenous sexual desire, and his repressed hunger comes increasingly to the forefront when he takes in Beatrice's two illegal-immigrant Italian cousins, Rodolpho (David Barry Gray), and his brother, Marco (Anthony Cistaro).
The key to Eddie is his concept of himself as a good man, one worthy of respect, and he works overtime to hide unacceptable desires from himself.

 BreakingNews.ie - 2003/12/15: Duberry convinced of Gray's credentials
Gray has switched formation by playing five across the middle, and most noticeably has dispensed with the services of the six on-loan foreign players signed by former boss Peter Reid.
Duberry has been one of the main beneficiaries of Gray’s tactics, and yesterday was in the right place at the right time to steer home the opening goal from a parried Ian Harte free-kick.
Gray’s other dilemma relates to the fact he may not be needed by the club’s new owners once they are in place, although he is currently doing enough to convince a prospective buyer he is the man to stay at the helm.

The players were devastated, one of the board resigned, and the fans made their displeasure clear, staging a massive demonstration in the car park after the next home game that left the board cowering inside the ground.
