A great player beset by injury throughout his career.

Loved watching Eddie as a boy...one of the reasons Leeds are my English team...a fantastic Scottish connection at that time and made lots of good friends through going down to see them over the years.

In the 70's Leeds United had a number of excellent Scots
Eddie Gray, Frank Gray, Billy Bremner, Peter Lorimer, Joe Jordan and Gordon McQueen being the ones that spring readily to mind.

Always thought this about Eddie to be tbh. Used to always be on sky sports talking about Leeds. It happens doesn’t it. Not your local or childhood team but a bond occurs.
We used to see it all the time too. Although, all those non-scots who “love” Rangers were here when we loved them for the success. Not the same for the non-scots who were here 2012-16. Got to be successful or you’ll be forgotten.

The Other Scottish Leeds goalie was Dave Stewart ex Ayr United. Think he played in the European Cup final for Leeds.

When Leeds played Celtic at Parkhead, David Harvey turned out in a blue top, white shotrs and red socks, which went down well.

Arthur Graham from Aberdeen.
After the playoff defeat to Derby he was at Leeds bus station around 11:30 pm saw me sitting with leeds top on and expressed his disappointment at the result , upon hearing my accent enquired where is travelled from and seemed genuinely interested that I'd made the journey from North of aberdeen so chatted a 10 minutes or so ....... cool story bro and all that
Seemed very decent

Don't know Frank's leanings but used to play against him v St Margret Marys so don't be shocked.. Scored one of my best goals v them when we beat them 3-1.

Eddie and Frankie Gray, Arthur Graham and Jimmy Lumsden all came from Castlemilk and were at Leeds at the same time.
Eddie and Jimmy Lumsden had shares in an ice-cream van that went around the scheme; BEJ ICES, the B stood for Bobby the driver.

The Grays lived in Cavin drive in castlemilk.
Taught him all he knew as I used to play football with him as he lived in Cavin Drive and I lived round the corner in Croftfoot Quad in Castlemilk. Can't remember what Catholic school he went to as at that time there wasn't a Catholic secondary school in Castlemilk only Glenwood where I went.

My da grew up in Cavin at the same time. Says you never seen Eddie without a ball at his feet when they were younger.
Used to love Leeds when I was a kid, like many others it was the large Scottish contingent that made them my favourite team down south - well, until we played them in the CL qualifier….I’m afraid there was only one team I wanted to win that game and my love for Leeds lessened after that - still look out for their results though

At one point Leeds had 2 keepers in the Scotland Squad out of the 3 named.
Harvey and Stewart even though Stewart hardly got a game.

Also the goalkeepers David Harvey and David Stewart.

What happened to his son? I remember his breakthrough but not much beyond.
Did Harvey replace Gary Sprake? Can remember Sprake making some high profile howlers
