An attacking midfielder, Lorimer was the youngest player to represent Leeds at the age of 15 years and 289 days and went on to make 705 appearances for the Whites over two spells.
He is the club’s all-time top goalscorer, having netted 238 times in all competitions, and was part of a legendary team under Don Revie.
During his brilliant Elland Road career, he won two league titles, the FA Cup and League Cup.
“Peter’s contribution to Leeds United will never be forgotten and his passing leaves another huge hole in the Leeds United family,” the club said.
“He will always remain a club icon and his legacy at Elland Road will live on.
“Our thoughts are naturally with Peter’s wife Sue and the rest of his family at this difficult time.
“Rest in peace, Peter.”
