Very sad news today that we’ve lost another of the miracle men in Larry Lloyd.Inevitably in the next few years this is going to happen again but all of the players of that era will for ever be remembered.
RIP Larry.

Very sad news. I'm too young to have watched him as a player but I do remember getting his autograph outside the Main Stand in the early 90's. I couldn't quite believe it when my Dad told me this absolute unit of a fella used to be one of the best players in England. RIP.

Someone with a better grasp of that period of time may prove me wrong but I doubt anybody else that left Liverpool during the Shankly/Paisley/Fagan/Dalglish era went on to better things elsewhere like Larry did. A pretty special acheivement in itself.

I took a look at a Liverpool forum, the very same comment was made. Big Larry very well thought of over there too. Rest in Peace Larry

I defy anyone to name a better double act

Dare I mention Colin Todd and Roy McFarland at Clough’s Derby?
I’m not sure they were better than Larry and Kenny but I reckon it’s a close run thing.
Both fabulous partnerships-I wouldn’t mind a direct line to Cloughie ‘upstairs’ to ask
his opinion.

I’m happy for Larry and Kenny to be declared the winners,Rocka-but I suppose there wasThe only way to settle this is....
Trophies
Burns and Lloyd are the winners.
a possibility that Derby could have emulated Forest’s feat if 1.The referee wasn’t allegedly
crooked in Turin and 2.Clough hadn’t resigned at Derby in 1973.

I always loved this anecdote about Clough and Lloyd -
He turned to Needham first: ‘David, you’re probably wondering why I’ve left you out. You’ve done ever so well since I bought you. David, I really can’t fault you. You’re a lovely boy. If my daughter were looking to bring a man home to marry, you’d be that man. You’re that nice, David, I’d have you as my son-in-law’. Then he pointed at me. ‘I hate that f***ing bastard over there. And that’s why you’re not in the team. You’re not a bastard like Larry Lloyd. And, son, I want a bastard in my defence.’"
I suppose Clough's genius was choose two centre backs he himself would have absolutely hated to play against.
Their relationship is really interesting, no love lost between them and yet they worked so well together and achieved so much.

I always liked it when he talked about playing Arges Pitesti away, he was genuinely excited to be playing in Dracula country

Yes, I saw that. It was more-or-less a case of: Oh, and he also played for Nottingham Forest.

Luckily, I had the sound down and happened to look up as they showed the picture, but I’m not the least surprised. It’s like when we played Liverpool in the European Cup - my memory is that a brief preview of the first leg on either the news or John Craven’s Newsround that day sounded exactly like it would (ie 90% Liverpool and barely more than mentioning our name) if we had been some obscure team from Finland or Czechoslovakia, not the reigning English champions. Some things never change…
