Brian Flynn features at number 62 in our 100 Greatest Leeds players ever.

Born 1955, Welshman Brian was one of United's smallest players at less than 5'4", but his appetite for work was remarkable and his mid-field partnership with Tony Currie was the best of the post-Revie era. Turning professional on 1972 with Burnley, he won under 23 honours and soon became established on the full international scene. Joined LUFC in 1977 for ????175,000 and proved to be one of the best midfielders in the country making 174 starts, scoring 11 goals and winning a further 32 caps while at Leeds. He returned to Burnley in 1982 and saw service with a succession of clubs before Managing Wrexham and later Swansea City.
