Lloyd Dyer Retired

[Guest Electric Yetis]

Amongst all the doom and gloom and transfer hype I've just read that Lloyd Dyer is retiring. 

Obviously we've gone up a few levels since he left but he played a massive part in getting us from League One to the Premier League.

 

Still sad he didn't sign on for a year in the PL, he deserved it but obviously wanted more.

 

Probably not worth a new thread but I just bloody loved Lloyd and I'm pretty sure he loved us.

Burton away was good last season, singing his name.

 

Such a shame he never signed a new contract when we got promoted.

[OntarioFox]

He would have torn it up in that 2014-15 season. He was on the top of his game, had finally added end product and crossing to go with his pace at the time. Absolutely ready for the Prem at the time. Still one of my biggest regrets as a fan in recent years, so can only imagine how he feels. 

Always be a cult hero for us. He was MASSIVE in the promotion season.

All the best M'Lord. 

[Jacnah]

Congrats on a long career. I think like many fans I have a soft spot for Lloyd.

[Tuna]

Loved that goal at Bolton that clinched the title, absolute legend for us and such a shame he wasn't given a longer contract and stayed with us in the Prem for at least a season.

[StanSP]

Hero in League One and our rise up through the Championship! 

 

Thank you for everything, Lloyd! 

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

A major player in two title wins for us. Always and I mean ALWAYS gave his best. After many years of watching crap Lloyd was the first after a long time who came in and got me off my seat as soon as he picked the ball up on the halfway line. 
 

Bolton goal probably the most significant. However, his goal against reading under Sousa was great. 
 

Hope he comes to club in some ambassador capacity.

Never understood that. Perhaps told by Nige that he wouldn't play much in the PL but even so you'd have thought he would've given it a shot. Shame after the effort he put in getting us there. 

 

Remember him fondly for taking a short corner right in front of us at Ashton Gate straight to a red shirted full-back 

 

Unforgettable. Good luck, Lloyd. 

[urban.spaceman]

Loved Lloyd. One of those players who would always give you everything. Happy retirement!

 

On thing to add - this picture of the 13/14 squad with that X factor winner always makes me laugh. Lloyd's complete lack of interest is just beautiful.

 

[AKCJ]

Love the man. Absolute hero. Scored some absolutely massive goals for us.

 

That 5-3 against Bolton sticks in the memory.

[Corky]

Loved the fact his playing style was so basic (push the ball out and sprint past the opponent) yet it was so effective for years.

 

What a player.

We could with a player like him now, he was great

[Benguin]

Did anyone watch sky sports news on, I think sep 15, and see Lloyd dyer joins Leicester in block yellow capitals and get really excited and it turned out to be a mistake and it was Nathan Dyer? 

[KFS]

LLOYD, LLOYD WILL TEAR YOU APART AGAIN 

[Jonezy]

He brought the happiness back.

Exactly this. Yes he was 30/31 but he's just improved year on year and would have been an asset in the Prem.

[MPH]

 

what a player. He was exactly what i liked about a winger.

[Jobyfox]

Yes - loved Lloyd.

 

OK - he didn’t have the greatest ability, but was very, very, quick. He’d also have the occasional game when he was virtually unplayable. I seem to recall a home game against Ipswich when we won about 6-0 and he was just brilliant! 

[Katy]

Nooooooo! My favourite player of that era. Best of luck Lloyd! I'll never forget the time at West Brom away when Fez nearly ran him over. He looked like he would've murdered him on the spot if he'd have got his hands on him. Lloyd, not Fez.

The first game we took my nephew to. Not a bad way to get him hooked.

3 years old after the friendly defeat to Burton but talks about how much he loved the club.

[Shane]

WIll never forget his debut Vs Mk Dons, felt like he was the first exciting player we had in years.

 

[foxile5]

Loved him. 

[Nick]

I loved that headless chicken more than life itself when he played for us. Amazing guy. Great career. Best of luck to him moving forward. Cult Leicester hero.
