Larry Lloyd described as a 'true legend' by the city pub he used to run

'A true legend' is how staff at The Stage pub in Nottingham described its former guvnor Larry Lloyd. On the pitch Mr Lloyd formed a formidable partnership with Kenny Burns at the heart of the Nottingham Forest defence that, along with goalkeeper Peter Shilton, proved vital to the Reds' back-to-back European Cups under Brian Clough in 1979 and 1980.

Mr Lloyd was also a firm presence behind the bar of the pub - now called The Stage - and legend has it he once turfed out a young Roy Keane who was on a Forest Christmas do. Mr Lloyd would later go on to run a pub in Spain. He won four caps for his country and also amassed more than 200 appearances for both Forest and arch-rivals Liverpool.

Forest are understood to be planning to honour Mr Lloyd’s life on Saturday . Nuno Espirito Santo’s side face Crystal Palace at the City Ground as they return to Premier League action after the international break.
