As a kid I recall Lenny scoring a screamer to salvage a point in an important game. Was it 2-2 v Sunderland when the wheels fell off the 92 promotion wagon??? Anyway he was always one of my favourites at the time as he was, like handbag, a product of the youth setup. So sad ☹️

Was that not Richard Brown at Tranmere?

Don't think it was Sunderland and pretty sure Brown didn't score in the Tranmere match. From memory, Lenny's only goal that season came down at Millwall in a game just prior to Sir Kenny turning up. There was a 2-2 v Sunderland in the 88/89 season though. I'll have been at the game but don't recall who scored. I'll check my programmes. 

Lovely lad. Used to get a lift home from Ewood with Terry Gennoe now and again and Lenny would sometimes be in the car. Both good guys.

My memory is hazy. It may not have been Sunderland. It was before the 1992 season too.

Best I could do for you, Shaun, is a 2-2 v Ipswich in 1989. Lenny scored, as did a young right-back called Mark Atkins. Never thought he'd amount to much ?

I think it was away to Rotherham in a league cup game, he scored from the halfway line if memory serves me correctly?
