[edit] Biography

[edit] Player

Mark Lillis started his professional career at Huddersfield Town in Summer 1978. He played for Huddersfield for seven seasons before being sold in 1985 to Manchester City for £130 000. He stayed at this club for just one season, and in August 1986 was sold to Derby County for £200 000. Because of knee problems, he didn't play very often for Derby, and in September 1987 he went to Aston Villa. After that he played for Stockport County and Scunthorpe United before his playing career finished at Witton Albion at the end of the 90s.

[edit] Manager and coach

Lillis took his first job as coach for Macclesfield Town. Later, he worked for Huddersfield Town before he became assistant manager of Scunthorpe United in 1996. His first job as manager came in 1999, when he took the job at Halifax Town, a job he had until September 2000. In 2002, after John Gregory had employed him as a coach at Derby County, and Gregory was suspended from the job, Lillis was for a short time in March 2003 caretaker-manager of Derby.

In March 2003 he also became assistant manager to Sammy McIlroy who was manager of Northern Ireland, and held the part time job until October 2003. After that he became assistant manager to Sammy McIlroy at Stockport County, and when McIlroy quit the job in November 2004, Lillis became caretaker-manager of the club until the 18th December 2004 when Chris Turner took over as the new manager.

On the 30th May 2006 Mark Lillis once again took over as assistant manager to Sammy McIlroy. This time he is at Morecambe where he signed a 2-year contract that keeps at the club until the end of the 2007-08 season.
