Life and career

Lilwall was born in

West Bromwich Albion for a fee of around £70,000.[1][3]

He went straight into the Albion first team, and by September 1992

Rushden & Diamonds of the Southern League.[2]

Injury also disrupted his time with Rushden & Diamonds. He contributed only seven Southern League games as his team won the 1995–96 Southern League title, and the following season played just four times in the 1996–97 Conference.[2] In 1997, he rejoined Kidderminster Harriers, but appeared only infrequently for the first team, and ended his senior career back at Moor Green.[2]

Lilwall took a degree in Physical Education and Social Psychology at

UEFA A Licence football coaching qualification.[2][1] He trained as a teacher, and taught physical education at Ninestiles School in Acocks Green, Birmingham,[13] as well as running a soccer school in the Solihull area.[1]

Notes

  1. ^ a b Club-based sources including those of West Bromwich Albion Former Players Association and Rushden & Diamonds F.C.,[1][2] a contemporary match programme,[3] and Barry Hugman's PFA Premier & Football League Players' Records 1946–1998[4] all state 15 February 1970 as Lilwall's date of birth. It would appear that the date of 5 February, as given by Hugman's website and Neil Brown's UK A–Z Transfers,[5][6] stems from a typographical error.
