Mark Lazarus-former Palace and Orient reply

[rcsmg1]

I wrote to Mark via his haulage business to get my cards signed. 

Mark played as a right winger and made over 400 league appearances, scoring over 100 goals. A prominent Jewish player, he initially chose football over boxing and followed manager Alec Stock first to Leyton Orient and then Queens Park Rangers. He transferred to Wolverhampton Wanderers for a club record fee, but due to a clash with manager Stan Cullis, he moved back to QPR after only nine games. In his second stint with QPR he scored the winning goal for the club in the 1967 League Cup Final. He moved back to Leyton Orient, before moving onto non-league football where he saw out his football career.

Two of his brothers were boxers, one of whom, Lew Lazar, fought for the British title at Welterweight and Middleweight. He initially followed his brothers into boxing, having fought a few amateur fights. 

After his footballer career was over, he became a minder for snooker players, including Steve Davis at the time of his loss to Dennis Taylor in 1985 World Snooker Championship final.
