Colin Chad Lyman (9 March 1914 - 9 May 1986) was an English footballer.[1]
Lyman played for Rushden Town, West Bromwich Albion, Southend United, Northampton Town and Tottenham Hotspur where he played in a total of 54 matches and scoring on 11 occasions in all competitions.[2] He also guested for Leicester City, Notts County, Chesterfield, Derby County, Coventry City and Port Vale during the war; playing four games for the Vale in 1946. He signed permanently for the club in May 1946 for a 'fairly substantial fee'. After eleven games, the 32 year old was sold on to Nottingham Forest in October 1946 for a 'substantial sum' above what the Vale had paid for him. He later played for Notts County, Nuneaton Borough, Long Eaton Town (as player-manager) and British Timken.[3]
