Nottingham Forest have paid tribute to double European Cup winner Larry Lloyd, who has died at the age of 75.

Lloyd, who also won the First Division title and Uefa Cup with Liverpool, was a key player in the Forest side which won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980 under manager Brian Clough. The Bristol-born defender won four caps for England, too, and went on to manage Wigan and Notts County following the end of his hugely successful playing career.
