Such a sad thing to read, he stood up when nobody else wanted to, almost got us to division one, and a very likeable person too, he bled BHA. RIP Barry, you’ll be missed.
And don't forget that amazing end to the 1987/88 season with seven wins and a draw in the last eight games getting us from 6th to automatic promotion.

Gaffer when I first started watching.
Chatted to him at Worthing games a fair bit. Lovely bloke.

A man who did a great job for us in the most trying of circumstances. That play off final was Mrs Wz's first Albion match and obviously set her up for the two matches that she's been to since.
RIP Barry

Solid manager in a tough time and definitely got the best out of average players as well as uncovering some gems like Mike Small, Garry Nelson and Kevin Bremner.
Only 75, such a shame, I think he was quite a heavy smoker but don’t know for sure?

I enjoyed the Barry Lloyd era at the Albion. Some great attacking football to watch and my favourite forward partnership of Nelson and Bremner. The flak that came his way was because he came from non league and replaced the popular Alan Mullery. That 1987-88 promotion season was one of the most enjoyable as a Brighton fan. I once recommended a Maidenhead player to him when he was a scout and received a very polite reply.

Sad to hear. He was the manager back when I started going to the Goldstone - the longest serving manager in the last 60 years. Glad to see his reappraisal over the last thirty years.

Your support is not that great
"Are we Worthing in disguise?" was one of the North Stand chants during one tricky spell in the Lloyd era. And I thought the mass waving towards the dug-out along with a chant of "bye-bye, Barry" when things were particularly difficult was a bit sad, even then.
Really glad to see the respect and fondness people are showing towards him on this thread. He always struck me as a thoroughly decent guy, who did surprisingly well with very limited resources. RIP.
