FORMER Chelsea and Fulham star Barry Lloyd has died at the age of 75.
The English midfielder made more than 280 appearances for Fulham and 10 for Chelsea.
Lloyd also managed Brighton between 1987 and 1993.
He took the Seagulls to promotion from the third tier and a shock appearance in the second tier play-off final during his tenure.
He is also credited with planting the seeds of a youth policy which would begin to bear fruit during his reign.
Lloyd was chief scout for Brighton several seasons from 2007.
Brighton’s statement on X read: “We extend our sincere condolences to Barry’s family and friends at this saddest of times.
“The players will wear black armbands today and there will be a tribute next weekend against Spurs.
