NOTTINGHAM, England — Larry Lloyd, the former England international who was an integral part of Nottingham Forest’s back-to-back European Cup-winning teams, has died. He was 75.
After a spell at Coventry, Lloyd moved to Forest in 1976 and made 218 appearances, helping manager Brian Clough mastermind the stunning rise of a provincial second-tier team to become the best in Europe in just three years. Forest gained promotion to the top flight in 1977, won the league in 1978 and then the European Cup in 1979 and ’80, with Lloyd and defensive partner Kenny Burns forming a solid and uncompromising foundation of the team’s success in front of goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
