Life and career

According to Daily Record article, Lasley was born in Paisley, Scotland.[1] However, the official Motherwell site lists his birthplace as Glasgow.[2] He joined Motherwell in 1999 from Paisley side Gleniffer Thistle, but had to wait 18 months to make his first team debut.[3] He established himself in the team during the 2001–02 season and played regularly up until leaving the club in the summer of 2004 when he chose to not renew his contract. He scored nine goals in 97 appearances. Lasley joined Plymouth Argyle in June 2004,[4] having signed a two-year contract with the club.[5] He made 24 league appearances in the Championship during the 2004–05 campaign, but lost his place in the team the following season and was loaned out to Blackpool in February 2006.[3][6] Having been released by Argyle later that year, Lasley spent time training with Kilmarnock before deciding to rejoin Motherwell.[7] A cruciate ligament injury picked up in December sidelined him for the rest of the 2006–07 campaign.[8]
