Lawrence Charles May (born 26 December 1958) is an English former professional footballer who played as a central defender, making over 350 career appearances.
Born in Sutton Coldfield, May played for Warren, Leicester City, New England Tea Men, Barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton & Hove Albion.[2] [3]
May was signed by Leicester City after playing youth football in Birmingham, and made his first-team debut at the age of 17.[4] He suffered an injury and was sent to American team New England Tea Men for experience, but suffered a further injury whilst there.[4] He turned professional the year before Gary Lineker, with Lineker being tasked with cleaning May's playing boots.[4] May scored the only goal of the game as Leicester beat Leyton Orient to win the Second Division championship.[4] He moved to Barnsley in August 1983 after losing his place in the first-team following a suspension.[4] The transfer was for Barnsley's then-record fee of £150,000.[5]
