He took the Seagulls to promotion from the third tier and a shock appearance in the second tier play-off final during his tenure.

Lloyd was chief scout for Brighton several seasons from 2007.
Brighton’s statement on X read: “We extend our sincere condolences to Barry’s family and friends at this saddest of times.
“The players will wear black armbands today and there will be a tribute next weekend against Spurs.
Lloyd played for Chelsea first between 1966 and 1968, before switching across West London to Fulham.
He enjoyed fair more success for the Cottagers, scoring 29 goals in eight years, three of them as captain.
