For the Gaelic footballer of the same name, see Mick Lyons (Gaelic footballer).

Mick (Mike) Lyons (born 12 December 1951) was an English professional footballer playing in the 1970s. He is currently managing professional outfit Stirling Lions in Perth, Western Australia.

[edit] Player

Lyons was not considered the most technically gifted of players in the world but Lyons more than made up for it by his desire to play for Everton, the club he supported when he was a boy. Lyons' versatility made him a very useful player, he could play anywhere down the middle and was once Everton's top goalscorer. He won an England 'B' cap in 1978.

[edit] Manager

Lyons has managed Grimsby Town F.C., Canberra Cosmos and the Stirling Lions.
