During his time in South Africa, Lawlor got to know South African national team coach Stuart Baxter, who would go on to become Helsingborg manager in 2006. It was Lawlor's relationship with Baxter that opened the door for Manchester United to sign Henrik Larsson for 10 weeks in 2007. Lawlor has also been involved in scouting Didier Zokora for United.
