Ian Lawson was seen as a great talent as a young player, but with
Burnley's Championship-winning squad ahead of him, he failed to find
himself a regular first-team berth. Leeds picked him up in 1962 and he
became an important player in the squad that won promotion from
Division 2, but he found himself marginalised as the team made its way
in Division 1. He moved on to Palace and Port Vale (and Barnsley but
he never appeared for the first team) but was never as effective as he
was in those first couple of years at Leeds.

Have your say
Did you see Ian Lawson play? Did you meet him in a pub, go to
school with him, decorate his house or buy a motor from him? If
you've got any comments or stories about Ian Lawson on or off the
pitch, just fill in the form below and (provided they're not blatantly
libellous) I'll add them to this page. And just a quick note to the spammers
who try to add their links to this page by attempting to get round the client-side
validation: don't bother - the server side does similar checks and throws your
garbage straight into the bit bucket.
