Big Lawrence showed up several times in Linwood's famous 2nd XV 1995-96 season and played quite well when he was straight (two out of 8 games). His drug addictions were legendary in the Paisley area. It was rare to see Lawrence NOT sucking on a bizzare Herb filled pipe for all he was worth (65p), that's not where it ended though, On many occasions he turned for matches Out of his face on Jellys,beans,wobbly eggs (sleeping tabs), Speed and Turpentine substitute. He was also usually seen hanging around outside the local Primary school gate selling his 'drugs' to all the little kids. What they didn't know was his E's were mint tic-tacs and his hash was usually dried cat shit. If Lawrence had any drugs the last thing he would do was sell them! On his final match against Vale of Leven. In the final minutes big Lawrence bounded for the try line with a crazed look in his dilated pupils. Unfortunately Big Lawrence never stopped running and Kept running 'till his almost lethal cocktail wore off and he came round in a hedge in East Kilbride somewhere. He still has the number 16 Linwood shirt and the ball so we would like them back!!

While he was in Scotland he got a small part in the above movie. He used the money he made to buy a pound of industrial Glue.

Linwood want the shirt back! So come on back Larry!
