Brian Flynn had established himself as a top class midfielder at
Burnley, winning international honours for Wales. He formed a good
partnership with Tony Currie after his arrival at Leeds, but
remains best-remembered for his last minute goal at Old Trafford in
February 1981 - the only goal of the game and the last time Leeds
won there.
He returned to Burnley and played for a variety of lower
division sides before settling at Wrexham where he has been manager
since 1989 and was responsible for their famous FA Cup victories
over Arsenal and Middlesbrough.
Patrick A.T. Flynn says: i never knew Brian Flynn, but he is a
relative of mine. I am called Patrick Flynn and i descend from
Ireland where the flynn name Traditionally comes from. he was a
very good player and i would love to meet him but have no means of
contacting him.
Craig says: Saw Brian at a reserve game OLDHAM v BLACKPOOL. I'm
totally curious...why would he be there? Will OLDHAM be making a
change to the management team?
martin says: Thanks for the info, I'm sorry to see you down. One
of me best mates is a Leeds fanatic another a City fan nd me a
Burnley, and I live and work in Liverpool. P.S. Dont worry Burnley
without Stan will fall a lot quicker than you, should have been
Rovers in it not your lads. Cheers Martin

bunminho says: A little Welshman with a big heart, consistent
and modest but an absolute tiger in the tackle. Flynn had a superb
relationship with Tony Currie in the heart of the Leeds midfield,
and recreated a similar relationship with Terry Yorath in the heart
of the Wales midfield. I remember his form in Wales' 4-1 bashing of
England in Cardiff during the now-defunct Home Championship, the
absolutely accurate 40-yard passes to feet. He could just pinpoint
his teammate in a crowded defense and lay the ball on to him. With
that kind of ability, it is amazing that he was rejected by Arsenal
and Chelsea as a boy.
