RIP. Part of a revolution.

[YorkshireRed]

RIP. He played his part. 

[Creator Supreme]

An absolute headcase, but a good defender. To win major honours with 1 club back then was an achievement, to do it again with a second was outstanding.

 

RIP.

He was the last, or one of the last of the old school non-footballing centre halves we had.  RIP LL

[sir roger]

In one of his first games for the ressies he heard Clemence shout ' my ball ' but cleared it anyway, and woke up in the ambulance on the way to Walton Hospital. Fantastic career and trophy haul, mainly with Forest, but a title with us in 72/73.

 

RIP Larry.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

RIP he was a good player.

[Pete]

Rest in Peace.  

[Trumo]

A key part of Shanks' rebuilt side as the replacement for Ron Yeats. Scored what proved to be the winner in a UEFA Cup final, and went on to win the league plus Big Ears twice after joining Forest. RIP Larry.

Good player for us, great player at Forest.  Clean sheet after clean sheet when Forest were at their best.  

[Harry's Lad]

RIP.

Very sad news, remember him well. Won the UEFA cup in 1973, our first European trophy. Not bad for a lad we picked up for peanuts from Bristol Rovers. We were great at picking up hidden gems in those days; Keegan and Clemence from Scunthorpe for under £60 grand for the pair of them.

Gone a bit too young, by today's standards.  RIP.

RIP Larry you won your share great career 

[halewood pete]

Sad news ,remember him fondly,a no nonsense defender.RIP.

[Vincent Vega]

Before my time, I only remember him as a Forest player, but I remember my dad saying what a good player he had been.

 

This is a lovely tribute by the club, our Twitter account always seem to get it right when it matters.

I really liked Larry, but when Phil Thompson broke into 1st team reckoning there could be only one first choice CB, and he new it. I think he asked for a transfer out. The club didn't want him to go but he got his wish and subsequently had a great career.

RIP Larry Lloyd.

Wikipedia says that he actually player 2 more games for us than Forest. Mind you,his two European Cups with them are going to eclipse our UEFA Cup win nowadays.

Part of two revolutions to be fair. He also helped turn Coventry into a decent first division team.
