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.
