I don’t necessarily have a defined favourite player, but if I had to choose I would have to say Ian Baird because he epitomised what LUFC is all about with his tenacious and never-say-die attitude.
FAVOURITE MANAGER?
Howard Wilkinson. His methodical thinking and style of play was unbelievable at times.
