[Albion] Barry Lloyd - RIP

[oldboyroy]

RIP Barry. Some great memories in a shocking time for the club.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Loved Barry Lloyd. Genuinely likeable person.

 

[Binney on acid]

Never gave any less than his best. Cursed to be in charge at the most difficult of times. Built an entertaining side on a shoestring. Eternal thanks and admiration.

 

[British Bulldog]

Ironic he got us promoted with quite a few players signed from Chelsea.

Barry Lloyds blue and white army.

RIP, and thank you for some of the best memories of supporting the Albion and getting us within a whisker of top flight football.

 

[Weststander]

BL gave us hope, when we were truly skint.

RIP. Thank you.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Oh that's what the black armbands were for. RIP Barry

Condolences to his family & friends
thank you for your service to the club during testing times, and thank you for the day out at Wembley.

This poster is named after the late Barry Lloyd.

Writing in Gulls Eye many years ago under the pseudonym Barry Mustgoe, I was one of Bazza's noisiest critics. When he did go, and to celebrate his overdue departure from the Albion dugout, I successfully appealed to the owner of this board to change my handle to Barry Hazgon.

Under a new regime Bazza subsequently returned to the Albion, and I rode my luck by seeking to switch nom de plumes for a second time, to the one that remains today.

I shan't be changing again.

RIP Barry - sorry if I was a pain in the backside all those years ago

A round of 'Barry Lloyd's blue and white army' next week.

A huge part of my Albion youth.

I’ll be getting my NOBO out for the Spurs match too.

RIP Barry Lloyd

 

[Gazwag]

RIP Barry

I was at his first game away to Sheff Utd in the FACup third round, snowy day it was and I think it was 0-0

 

[Invicta]

Very sad news. Big part of my formative years as a Brighton fan.

He was manager when i started going to games with mates rather than my Dad in my early teens. Also the manager that gave us the first promotion I saw live when we got promoted in 87-88.

RIP.

Similar. The promotion season was a great time, some memorable home wins. RIP

 

[Guinness Boy]

Barry, Barry, Barry is finally out, out, out

RIP Bazza. 87/88 was my favourite season until we got to Europe. .

 

[ac gull]

87/88 and prem promotion year were the best two

Barry conjured something out of nothing….
RIP …..

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

They were shit times but we did have a laugh and I made so many matchday mates that I still see now and the sense of camaraderie that continued throughout the troubles of the late 90s and into the ‘We Want Falmer’ years was heartwarming.

It’s not possible to reflect on those times without Barry Lloyd popping up front of mind as a main character.

R.I.P.
He brought some great players to the club and in87/88 gave us something to smile about for the first time since the cup final. For the money that was spent he worked miracles .

 

[portlock seagull]

Wonderful manager, a true football man. RIP Barry and thank you for so many memories.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Great manager for us.
Brilliant for Worthing.
RIP
