Eddie Gray (footballer, born 1948)

Eddie Gray is a Scottish former footballer and coach, born in Glasgow in January 1948 and raised in the Castlemilk district, who spent almost twenty years with Leeds United. A skilful winger who beat full backs with pace and close control, he turned professional with Leeds at sixteen, made his debut on New Year's Day 1966 and became a key member of the successful Leeds side of the late 1960s and 1970s. He won the League Cup and the Fairs Cup in 1968, the league title in 1969 and played in the team that won the 1972 FA Cup Final against Arsenal, although a run of injuries limited his appearances. He won twelve caps for Scotland between 1969 and 1977. Later a player-manager at Leeds, he also managed Whitby Town, Rochdale and Hull City, was appointed MBE in 1983, and was voted the third greatest Leeds United player of all time in a 2000 poll.
