Malcolm Lord (born 25 October 1946) is an English former professional footballer who spent nearly his entire career at Hull City. Playing primarily as a midfielder, he also briefly featured for both California Surf and Scarborough towards the end of his playing days.[1]
Career
[edit]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]
