da betano casino： The word club legend is used too loosely in modern-day football, but there is no question that it is suitable for former West Ham United manager and indeed player John Lyall.
da bet nacional： It was on this day in 1960 that Lyall made his debut for West Ham, and he turned out in 31 league games for the Hammers before being forced to retire through injury.
Lyall went on to manage the club between 1974 and 1989 – landing two FA Cup trophies during his time in charge of the London outfit.
He had a win record of 40% from 770 matches in charge of the Hammers, before finishing his managerial career at Ipswich Town.
West Ham’s official Twitter account posted a special message for Lyall on Tuesday morning, and as expected, the club’s fans were out in force to hail the former defender.
Lyall passed away in 2006 at the age of 66, but he is still regarded as a West Ham legend in every sense of the word. A selection of the Twitter reaction to West Ham’s post can be found below:
