[Ale taster]

Off to see John McGovan tomorrow do a talk about his career. Imagine he'll have a few mind words to say about him

 

[Visiting owl]

That Forest team around 78 though, absolutely incredible.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Don't forget Frank Clark as well.
On the scrap heap at Newcastle after 400 appearances in '75.
A league champion in '78 and European Cup in '79.
Let's be honest, Cloughie was the best.

I thought of him immediately, I just think of Burns and Lloyd as a pair, as rough as the roads.

 

[Visiting owl]

Anyone remember this?

Larry gets a mention

Off to see John McGovan tomorrow do a talk about his career. Imagine he'll have a few mind words to say about him

He's good mind.
I had the pleasure of sitting next to him a few years ago at a sportsman's evening. Good crack.

RIP Larry.
A proper, no nonsense centre-half.

 

[Harry Gates]

Laurence Valentine Lloyd from Bristole.

Colin Barrett always gets forgotten as well as Needham and Clark

It's worth mentioning that Lloyd also won the League as an ever present with Liverpool when Shankly was manager, and the UEFA Cup. To be an important part of successful clubs managed by two of the greatest managers tells you a lot about his ability.One of his regular partners at Liverpool was Tommy Smith, another brutal pairing.

[Hardyman's Yugo]

RIP. One of many whose careers were either going nowhere or who had lost their way that Taylor identified and Clough got playing

Iirc he won an England cap when at Liverpool.

Remember him well, old fashioned stopper centre half

 

[SydneyFan]

RIP Larry. That Forest defence of the late 70s with him, Kenny Burns, Shilts and Viv Anderson was something special.

I trmember cutting a picture of Kenny Burns out of 'Look-In' comic and sticking it on my wall.

 

[Billy Fish]

Used to live on my street, canny fella.

RIP

Looking at what he won, that move to Forest has to go down as one of the best moves ever. And to think, at the time it was thought he was past it, overweight and slow. He was, but his experience meant he fitted in well in a very good Forest side.

RIP Big lad.

Haha surprised Kenny made pin up status!

 

[Shandy drinker]

Classic clough
Big daft stopper next to a footballing centre half
Lloyd and burns

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Before my time but I’d certainly heard of him and what a career. RIP Larry lad.
