He also played four internationals for Northern Ireland. Club careerLawther started his footballing career in his native Northern Ireland with Crusaders[3] before moving to England, with Sunderland in 1958.[4] A fine header of the ball, with an excellent instinct for finding space, he made his debut for Sunderland on 31 August 1959 against Aston Villa in a 3–0 at Villa Park.[5] Between 1959 and 1961, he scored 41 goals in only 75 league appearances for Sunderland, a remarkable rate which, given the overall calibre of the players around him, has gone largely unrecognised. The arrival of Brian Clough saw him squeezed out of contention, consequently a marvellous opportunity to combine his considerable abilities with Clough's was very unwisely overlooked.[6] He then signed for Blackburn Rovers for £18,000 in 1961 making 59 appearances, and scoring 21 goals in his time there.[4] He then moved to Scunthorpe United in 1963 for £12,000 and scored 22 goals for the Lincolnshire-based club in 60 league appearances.[4] Following this, he joined Brentford for £17,000 in November 1964 and went on to make 152 appearances, scoring 44 goals for the club.[7] Halifax Town was his next club as he signed for £3,000 in 1968, and he played for two seasons scoring 23 goals in 101 league appearances.[4] The club he served longest was Stockport County, but he was far less productive at his time there than with other clubs, scoring 29 goals in 164 appearances.[8] He finished up his playing career in Bangor City before retiring.[4] International careerHe won his first international cap for Northern Ireland on 6 April 1960 against Wales in a 3–2 defeat.[4] He won three further caps for his country, making a total of four appearances without scoring a goal.[4] References1. ^1 Barry Hugman's Footballers - Ian Lawther {{DEFAULTSORT:Lawther, Ian}}2. ^Sky Sports News notice of death 26/4/2010 3. ^Irish Association Football Guide 1958-59, 36th Issue, Pg. 63 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web|url=http://nifootball.blogspot.com/2007/01/ian-lawther.html|title=Ian Lawther|publisher=Northern Ireland's Footballing Greats|accessdate=2008-08-06}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thestatcat.co.uk/Match.aspx?MatchID=2177&LU=S&LUID=81|title=Aston Villa 3-0 Sunderland|publisher=The Stat Cat|accessdate=2008-08-06}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thestatcat.co.uk/Player.aspx?PlayerID=519|title=Ian Lawther|publisher=The Stat Cat|accessdate=2008-08-06}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://world.brentfordfc.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10421~2036859,00.html|title=Brentford {{!}} News {{!}} Latest News {{!}} Latest News {{!}} FORMER BEE DIES|last=|first=|date=|website=world.brentfordfc.co.uk|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=13 February 2018}} 8. ^Football League Career Stats at Neil Brown 14 : 1939 births|2010 deaths|Association footballers from Northern Ireland|Association football forwards|English Football League players|Crusaders F.C. players|Sunderland A.F.C. players|Blackburn Rovers F.C. players|Scunthorpe United F.C. players|Brentford F.C. players|Halifax Town A.F.C. players|Stockport County F.C. players|Bangor City F.C. players|Northern Ireland international footballers |
