Unthink road 132 Posted March 15 Always sad when we lose someone who played a part in the history of the club we love. RIP Mal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rottingdean canary 117 Posted March 15 My memory of Mal Lucas is of him scoring several spectacular volleyed goals from about 20 yards out - usually with both feet off the ground. RIP Mal. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,555 Posted March 15 Sad news indeed. Mal was playing when I started going. Proper old school half back. Here's his 'Duncan's Club Card' RIP Mal 💛💚 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheva 123 Posted March 15 I seem to remember him playing for Norwich v someone in red strips about 1968, then again on my last game for Gorleston v Wisbeach, when he was the manager. A decent and determined guy. RIP Mal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serinus Canaria Domestica 45 Posted March 16 Saw him smash one into the Barclay end goal, can’t remember who against, when I was about 18, 57 years ago. Always thought he should have scored more; the record of roughly 2 goals per season backs that up. Never less a great player in that era. I think I can name all the fellow team members in that line up picture, except for the guy sitting next to Mal. Anyone know? Stringer, Bolland, Brown, Keelan, Alcock, Mullett, Curran, Lucas . ? , Heath, Sheffield, Bryceland, Anderson Happy Days though in hindsight, the football was pretty dire.
