Often underrated player who occasionally suffered, as others have done, from his versatility. He would have done very well in the modern game of footballing defenders. RIP.

As a young lad I remember my dad describing him as a player who played in every outfield position. Those sort of facts make an impression on you at a young age when you’re just starting to take an interest in football. Irrespective of the club these players played for, somehow they attained legendary status. When someone like this dies, it’s sad because it takes you back to your youth and you realise the clock’s not going to be turning back for any of us.
RIP.

Black arm bands for the players and a minutes silence/applause coming up on our trip to Elland Road the weekend after next I'm sure. Paul Madeley's versatility gave him the nickname "the eleven Paul's" a a bit like our own Danny Pugh or "the eleven Danny's". Looking at wiki he did well to make it to 2018: "In 1992 he had a benign brain tumour removed. He had a mild heart attack in 2002 and was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2004." Otherwise okay then! This may sound a little self serving but I hope we can make it in and out of Elland Road and swipe all 3 points while the punchy Yorkshire 'I say what I like and I like what I say' faithful are still muttering about the Don Revie era when they ruled all before them and wallowing in grief about the loss of one of its most iconic figures! Here you go Match v Stoke to include a celebration of his life |

Condolences to all his loved ones.
He was an excellent player. He was exceptional in that he was a cultured defender at a time when that was a rare species, most defenders being cloggers, particularly in a Leeds team under Revie.
He career may have suffered from being such a versatile player, who was so good he could be used in a number of positions. He played RB, CB, LB and even played striker on occasions. In today's game he would have made an excellent wing-back possibly. In the days before players kept a specific number, Madeley could have almost any number on his back apart from #1. I can only think of Eric Skeels being so versatile, but Madeley was a whole class better footballer.

Elegant ball playing defender whose class stood out alongside other Leeds players such as Norman "bite yer legs" Hunter. He was almost a utility player due to his ability to play numerous positions very well, and due to that I think he was never really truly appreciated just how good he really was.
Sad day for football.
RIP Paul Madeley.

Quality player, I think he played for Leeds in every position apart from goalkeeper and was useful in all of them (unlike someone like Phil Neville who could play anywhere and was crap in all positions). Good enough for England as well when there was real quality about. And a one-club man as well... I think I heard a documentary about Jimmy Armfield and when he was Leeds manager, Paul Madeley's contract was up for renewal so he got him in to the office to discuss it and Paul Madeley just said, "write whatever you want on it and I'll sign it, I'm only playing for Leeds". Quality.

Leeds and England defender died aged 73. RIP x A top draw player, and much under rated. A defender of the old school, that always played the ball, never- rarely- the man.He was a good player in a good Leeds team, hard but fair, Madeley, not Leeds.Leeds were hard, but in all honesty, never harder that Stoke who had a team of men, not divas.  |

Hate to admit in the very late 60’s and very early 70’s Leeds were my team of choice..(obviously before puberty and common sense) but I would name a Leeds without Paul Madeley as they had a team with specialists in every position but knowing that with him as substitute, anyone could come off to be replaced by him without weakening the team, a very gifted individual.
RIP Mr Madeley....

Almost totally agree with the previous comment. Arguably though, he was a better right back than Reaney and a better left back than Bell (though not Cooper). Different, but as good a centre half as Charlton and the left sided Hunter.
RIP Paul.

Yes, he was certainly a class act,well respected by fans all over the country, not something you could say about some of his contemporaries in that Leeds side. Sad that he has not enjoyed good health for some time now.R.I.P Paul Madeley.
