Please be informed that a former footballer from Liverpool has just passed away today. 😔

There is a certain generation of Liverpool supporters who would not even be familiar with the name Larry Lloyd, but for many of them, he was an essential component of a squad that was going through a transformation at Anfield.

The fact that Bill Shankly once spent six seasons without winning a trophy for the Reds and that Lloyd was a member of his final team that was set to become Bob Paisley’s juggernaut is so astounding that it seems almost unbelievable to even try to explain it.
In light of the arduous challenge of having to replace Ron Yeats at the heart of defense, it was the generation of a fearless and tough-tackling center-back, and these were attributes that the enforcer, who was born in Bristol, most certainly possessed.
