Manchester United fans responded in anger over late kick off time
Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his surprise at Gareth Southgate’s decision to play Ben Chilwell in both of England’s games over the international break.
In the autumn of 1976, Larry Lloyd, who has died aged 75, broke a bone in his foot while playing for newly-promoted Nottingham Forest. As cover, the club manager Brian Clough bought David Needham from Queens Park Rangers. And, with Needham outstanding at the heart of the defence, Forest’s astonishing rise continued unabated, their victory role in Lloyd’s absence including a 4-0 win at Manchester United. But the moment Lloyd was fit, Clough put him straight back in the team.
Maurice: My best memory of Larry Lloyd is the 1978 League Cup final replay against Liverpool at Old Trafford. John: Larry Lloyd and Kenny Burns were our greatest-ever central defensive partnership. Larry was strong in the air and a fearsome tackler who took no prisoners.
