"What problems were there after he left Leeds?"
He made allegations of improprieties by Don Revie regarding "cash in brown paper bags."
Always sad to hear of players passing away.
RIP.

Just seen it on the BBC website. Always remember him from those memorable Chelsea v Leeds clashes of the 60's and 70's!
RIP

I remember him playing. A great keeper in a great team. Made some unbelievable saves but could also come up with the odd clanger, best of which is when he threw the ball into his own net at Anfield. The half time DJ then went on to play "Careless Hands" by Des O'Connor!
RIP, Gary

Sad news.
Part of the group of men that gave us the history were so proud of.
Not sure how former players will react, hope that there is some coming together and best wishes to his family.

I think this video will give you an idea how former players will react, Jonty.

I've seen that video a while back and nobody can say much against it for the simple reason it happened a lot back then!..
Sprake I look at for what he did for Leeds United and can't fault him for that!..
Rest in peace Gary, you was and always will be one off us!.
We mustn't forget that its happened to us in really big games!..
