Some great stories about Larry Lloyd as Latics manager in the Fred Eyre book – kicked into touch – well worth a read for those who haven’t come across it.
He used to fly into rages and Eyre had to clean up the mess. My favourite was in the days of only one sub, where he had a massive row with Mickey Quinn and subbed him at half time, forgetting he had already made his sub. As the players were running out for second half, Fred Eyre realised they had only 10 men and they had to fish Quinn out of the bath.
Always will like him as the first Latics manager to get us promoted in the League.
