RIP Paul Madeley

i think he was mr leeds

certainly had a big say in the brian clough scenario

mr versatile played in every out field position

Yep was an excellent player in any position, possibly to his detriment, as i always thought he was good enough in central defence to be an England regular, RIP Paul.

RIP

sorry to hear this news .. classy player best wishes to family and friends

RIP to a great player

Taken from the Mirror today -

Jimmy Armfield in his autobiography said about Madeley "He once actually signed a new contract on what was virtually a blank piece of paper. I called him in to discuss terms and opened by saying we'll give you so much. He replied that he had no intentions of leaving Leeds so he might as well sign it and let me fill in the details. I said do you want 2 or 3 years & he replied by saying either way. I'll leave it to you. I just want to play for Leeds and that was that"

A different time of course but when you think of the money grabbers of today it does make you think!

Back in the 70's I thought he was the best player in a very good Leeds team.
He made the game look ridiculously easy and never appeared to give the ball away.

RIP

RIP Paul Madeley. A class act.

One of the very first names I actually remember when I first became aware of football, sad to here the news.

RIP A top player in a great team

I remember being bored, spending a lot of time in his DIY store in Truro as a kid as my Dad was doing up our house! He must have died a wealthy man judging on how much my old man spent!

Sold out for 27 million in 1987,so a pretty fair assumption pixie.

Wow! A multi talented man, Ribero!

Had a sports shop in Leeds with his brother that did well too.

RIP

John Madeley his brother,presumably ran the business during Paul's football career,come to think of I seem to recall they advertsed on tv for a while with both brothers featured.

what a player , what a team  RIP

You were all class Paul. Played with fantastic grace and style. How we could do with you now.

RIP Paul Madely

we arec all gettin older

I'm a veteran and have seen some great, great English and Scottish sides( believe it or not ) but at a certain stage of the late 60's into the 70's Leeds played the finest football I have ever seen, anywhere in Britain.  With even a moderate amount of luck they would have won ALL THREE EUROPEAN TROPHIES. Madeley, a Leeds boy, played a big, big part in that.  R.I.P.

Really interesting post geordie1956.

RIP Paul Madeley.
