The B&B I stayed at was owned and run by a guy called Barry Lyons, he used to play for Nottingham Forest in the 60's and 70's and he also played for York City and managed them for a time, before being sacked for taking them to the bottom of the old 4th DIv - a really nice bloke who can cook a mean brekkie even if he couldn't manage a football team
It was interesting chatting to him about life as a footballer, playing against the likes of George Best etc - he had a cracking photo of him and Bob McNab (one of my dad's Arsenal heros of thr era) tackling eachother on the wall - looked like they were fighting eachother karate style :lol: His transfer fee from Rotherham to Forest was £45,000 in 1966 - a ton of money back then !!!
Like I say, nice guy, shame I only found out about his background on Sunday morning, I would have loved to have chatted more to him !! I know where I'll be staying next time I head back to York ;)
