Youth Set-Up
During the 1980's LSFC had a thriving youth set-up that saw many of today's senior team players make their first steps in the game. Brian Lythgoe over saw much of this, with the pinnacle being when Damian Hilton was spotted by Dave Stringer and signed professional terms with Norwich City F.C. He is now a player at Wroxham F.C.
