Former Leeds United striker Jim Storrie dies, aged 74

Former Leeds United striker Jim Storrie, scorer of 67 goals in 156 games for the club, passes away at the age of 74 following a short illness.

Former Leeds United striker Jim Storrie has passed away at the age of 74 following a short illness.

The forward, a member of the Whites side who played against Liverpool in the 1965 FA Cup final at Wembley, scored 67 goals in 156 games in all competitions for the club.

Eddie Gray, who played alongside Storrie at Leeds, told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "It is very sad to hear. Jim was a great goalscorer for Leeds in the old second division and scored a lot of goals to get us promoted and played in the 1965 FA Cup final as well.

"Jim definitely played his part in the rise of Leeds and scored some vital goals. He was a good lad, and a real character. On the pitch, he was a hard worker and a good pro."

Storrie also played for Rotherham United, Portsmouth, St Mirren and Havant & Waterlooville.
