RIP Barry Lloyd

Today at 09:30 AM

Fulham have announced the sad passing of the club’s former captain Barry Lloyd, aged 75.

The committed midfielder, who moved to Craven Cottage from Chelsea in December 1968, made 268 appearances for the Whites, scoring 30 goals. He was part of the side that won promotion from the Third Division in 1970/71, scoring nine times in 53 games. Lloyd was also part of the team that reached the 1975 FA Cup final and was an unused substitute at Wembley.

He left the Cottage the following year and had spells with Hereford United, Brentford and Houston Hurricane before calling time on his playing career in 1978. Lloyd managed Yeovil Town, Worthing (twice) and Brighton and Hove Albion and received his richly deserved Forever Fulham award from club director David Daly two years ago.
