Former Wales international and manager John Toshack says Leighton James was "one of the very best wingers British football has ever seen."
The former Wales winger who played more than 600 games in the Football League, has died at the age of 71.
Toshack says Wales were "lucky" to have the former Burnley winger, who played 54 times for his country.
"Leighton is one of the best two-footed players I've ever played with or seen and I have seen quite a few," he said.
"I always enjoyed teaming up with him, he was full of confidence in his own ability.
