Career

Lord was born in Driffield, and joined nearby Hull City as an amateur in 1964. [1] He turned professional a year later but had to wait for his competitive debut, which eventually arrived in early 1967. [1] His first goal came in the Tigers' 2–1 away win over Derby County on 20 April 1968. [1] [2]

On 3 June 1973, Lord was one of four Hull players to score in the club's 5–0 friendly win over Guyana in Georgetown. [3] A few months later, on 29 September 1973, the Englishman scored a brace against Cardiff City at Ninian Park, earning his side a 3–1 win. [1] [4]

Lord is a member of a select group of players who have featured for Hull City over 150 times. [5] As a thank you for his service to the club, Lord was granted a testimonial, [a] in which he captained an ex-Tigers side against a TV All-Stars XI led by Hull-born actor and presenter Roy North. 1966 World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton is believed to have featured in this game. [1] [6]
