Football manager John Lyall’s personal items sold at auction

Personal items belonging to a former football manager have been sold at auction.

John Lyall made his name as a player at West Ham before he went on to manage the team for most of his career between 1974 and 1989.

He managed Ipswich Town between 1990 and 1994, leading them back to the top flight in 1992, before he died in April 2006, aged 66.

Items belonging to the manager, including medals, contracts and signed items, were auctioned by Barnebys on Monday, with some selling for thousands of pounds.
