INFO:

Peter Lorimer was a Scottish winger known for having one of the hardest shots in football history. Lorimer is considered one of the best players in Leeds United history and is the club's top scorer of all time. His right foot was a deadly weapon, he could blast the ball from all distances and angles, also from volleys and free kicks. But he wasn't just a shooting machine, he was actually a very good all-round player. He was fast, hard working, a very good dribbler and also able to make goals for his teammates with his crossing. Throughout the game he was dropping deep, switching sides, coming into the middle, just going anywhere he could make a difference. Lorimer was one of the most important players in the Leeds generation that won 2 league titles and reached the European Cup final. He played an incredible 703 games for the club and scored 238 goals in total. He played in all 3 games for Scotland at the 1974 World Cup, scoring against Zaire, although his national team career was quite short, totaling 21 caps and 4 goals.

I have to say ST in green is definitely not enough for him. He was capable of scoring with volley goals or from difficult positions and IMO worth yellow value there. On the other hand TMW should be lowered a bit, also STA seems too high for him. He was good there but not that extraordinary to have him near orange value there. SPS also seems a bit generous btw..
Anyway, all in all one of the best wingers in the 1970's, his amount of goals is still incredible..
Btw, some small things that could be added as well:
Nickname: "HotShot", "Lash", "Thunderboots"
Shirt Number: 7 (Club) | 11 (1974 World Cup)
Free Kick Style: 3 | 8

From what I remember, I've already spoken about his passing on one of the previous sites. His crosses were floating in the air, he rarely used some great power when crossing. Meanwhile his ground passes were like a rocket, he could send 40-50 meters low pass like Ronald Koeman, often switching the play from the right wing to the left wing with sharp ground passes..
