Hey…I remember that car park…the little office where you bought tickets…and the door where all the players came out of after the match…those were the days…

I think the picture was taken at Melwood @Wilkored08

Assume the sub keeper never played.

He looks about 50 and is a bit on the large side.

Played 390 times for us.
Won the FA cup and the League.

Depending on when in the season that photo was taken, was still the number one or had only just been displaced by Clemence.

*Lawrence held off the challenge of teenage keeper Ray when the youngster arrived from Scunthorpe United in 1967, but Liverpool had begun to decline as the team aged. Though Lawrence was not the eldest, he was suddenly removed from the team in favour of Clemence after a 1–0 6th round FA Cup defeat at Watford in 1970; along with outfield players Ron Yeats and [Ian St John. Lawrence played for Liverpool only once more, against Manchester City in a 2–2 draw at Maine Road on 26 April 1971.

After Lawrence retired from professional football he returned to work at Rylands, the wire manufacturer.

In February 2015, Lawrence was inadvertently interviewed in the street by BBC journalist Stuart Flinders, who was asking elderly people if they remembered the 1966–67 FA Cup Fifth Round game between Liverpool and Everton. Lawrence, smiling, replied, "Yeah, I do. I played in it. I was the goalkeeper for Liverpool

@sandsoftime said it’s the 1970-71 squad, so Clem was established as the number one by then, with Lawrence making just one appearance, in a 2-2 draw at Maine Road in April 1971.

In fact, that turned out to be Tommy’s last appearance for the Reds, as he was not used the following season and then moved to Tranmere.

Did he leave around the same time as Ron Yeats, because he became Tranmere player-manager around the same time.

Yeah - they both left late 1971 or early 1972.

Literally worse than Onana. His club should just have terminated his contract there and then.

Ah so he was on his way out.

Flying pig makes sense as a nickname to be fair. Different times eh.

The “it’s your mothers’ fault that she spread her legs” story is one of the best.

:joy:

Elisha Scott? Or Bill Liddell :grimacing:

Yeah, but how many more could we have scored if Salah would pass the ball to Mane? :winking_face_with_tongue:

One of my favourite pictures.

I always used to get confused between Souness and McDermott due to their similar hairstyles and mustaches.
