A truly "great" player. Never saw him get flustered and seemed to cruise through games. RIP Mr Madeley.

A statement from Paul Madeley's family.

“Paul Madeley passed away peacefully today (23 July 2018) surrounded by his family in Leeds.

Paul was a much-loved husband, father and brother and the family are extremely proud of his achievements in life and on the field for Leeds United and England.

He was born in Beeston, a stones-throw from Elland Road, and only ever played and supported Leeds United.

The late Don Revie christened him his ‘Rolls Royce’ and to us he was just that - a class act as a husband and a father who always had time for everyone he met.

Paul’s wife Ann and sons Jason and Nick would like to thank everyone for their support and well wishes.

At this difficult time, we ask for privacy as we grieve a great loss.”

Leeds United will wear black armbands in Tuesday's friendly with Oxford United as a mark of respect and we will celebrate Paul's life at our season opener against Stoke City.

Idolized all that team as a kid. Just after we left school - not the easiest era in which to fined gainful employment - Madley fired a mate of mine who worked for him because the coppers went out of their way to call round to the lads place of work and tell him my mate was a wrong 'un. Done nothing wrong at work, very personable lad who a few of you on here probably know. A very vindictive copper. Things like that stick in my mind. Great player and a shame he's passed away but he was no hero of mine after that. A decent fella would have fucked them off and judged the lad on his own merits and his own experience of him. A bit of scrapping, like a lot of teenagers, nothing more.

It was his brother Michael i think who ran the business, are you sure it wasn't him who fired him ?

I'm not sure of anything anymore but it's how I remember it.

What, to sack someone in such a manner or to have a a less than stellar view of someone everybody else seems to love and to air that view in a not disrespectful way on a website ten people read?

John Madeley ran the shops wasn't it?

In principle I agree with the point your making, just thought the timing a little odd that's all.

...and point of order,there's actually 11 people read the forum! (12 when Misura returns from his sabbatical).

My Uncle Ken. Brickie/builder and all round good bloke. Did a lot of work for us when we first got married.
If you were aspirational, in the 70's, you had a Kenny Hodgson stone fireplace. RIP, Ken.
