Freeman's Wharfer Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Cult hero. Unplayable when he knocked it into space behind a full back and scored some really important goals for us at that level. Remember his pride when he wore the armband at Carlisle in the cup - delivered a real captain’s performance to go with it too.
copunk Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Knew what he could do and did it to the best of his ability, every game he played, even on a bad day always gave 110%, as others have said would have been amazing to see him have a year in the prem with us
ALC Fox Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Happy retirement Lloyd. He was there at our lowest low, right at the start of the resurgence, and should've been on the books when we reached our highest high. League Two (with MK Dons), League One and Championship winner's medals aren't bad mementos from an interesting career, though! He brought joy to a lot of fans, and to get that after the years of stagnation and gradual regression was incredible. In the years and decades to come, the pundits, podcasters and journalists will only remember Kasper, Kante, Mahrez, Vardy and the other Premier League title winners, but the fans will remember players like Lloyd who helped lay the foundations for that triumphant season, and gave us some amazing memories along the way. A special player in our history.
Clever Fox Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 If anyone had any doubts as to what Wingers bring to the game they only had to see Loyd play for us. He lit up many a game with his skill and pace down the Line showing Defenders a clean pair of Heels. Always be a legend here and remembered fondly.
Stadt Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Bet Bradley Orr wakes up sometimes convulsing in fear about that game
Hollyfox Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Was a massive part of the squad that put us back where we are now. Got nothing but love for Lloyd and he will always be in the hearts of the fans that followed the side during the day's. The Bolton home game, I think he scored our 4th,i think that was one of the loudest goal celebrations I'd heard at the KP.
Swalshed Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 What a player! I remember feeling so gutted when he turned down a one year extension and decided to move on.

That clip from 1 Min 39 Sec is pre-2013-14 Lloyd in his purest form. From the sublime to the ridiculous in 15 seconds! The Lloyd giveth, the Lloyd taketh away.

I can't find a news article for it but it flashed up on Sky Sports News earlier in their League One News section. To be fair, Sky are a pretty shit source these days so it could mean he's playing on for another few years.
DerbyshireFox Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 A joy to watch in a blue shirt. Absolutely rapid, terrorising championship full backs for the two or three seasons leading to promotion. Squaring up to Patrick Vieira at the Etihad in the cup replay sticks in the mind as well 🤣. You were great to watch Lloyd, happy retirement 🦊
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Think I've posted this before but there was one interview he did in 2011 when he was being linked with Wednesday that wa bloody top tier: "I am aware I have been linked with other clubs but, as far as I am concerned, I am a Leicester player and I love it here. I don't want to go anywhere. This is my club. I can't see why I would go anywhere else. I love this club and everyone in my family loves this club. My young son loves this club. Everyone at the club is good to me and the fans are great to me. I don't want to go anywhere. This will probably sound a bit weird but last season was probably the first time I have played for a club and felt really proud to play for a club. I love to play for this club, I love it. I am proper proud to play for Leicester."

VLC86 Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Honestly ****ing love Lloyd Dyer so much I named my dog after him. The only highlight of Burton last season was us being able to show our appreciation again.
walkerleeds Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Fitting that such an important player in that era scored the winning goal to clinch the title at Bolton. Love the man.
baldeagle Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Very average to start with then just got better and better, the season we got promoted to the Premier league him and Nugent were my favourite players

I think he also said something along the lines of he grew up supporting West Brom but he lost the passion for them as he got older and Leicester were his club now not his boyhood team. There was an interview as well with him Nugent when Derby played Burton Albion a couple if years ago. Both said categorily that playing for Leicester was the best time of their careers and they still follow of us talk to some of the old players still (I know Nugent and Vardy were always best mates here).
Guest Dirkster the Fox Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Few years back went to Edgbaston to watch England v India. Cooke scored 294. Big group of us from all over the UK. The Saturday night we went into Brum for an Indian, not late. City played Reading and lost 2-0 at home. Shocker, but old Lloyd handled me and a couple of my City mates briefly fawning over him (unexpectedly) like a gent. He was great, very polite, as were we and the rest of the group were chuffed. A few hand shakes, quick conversation etc, left him alone in quick time. Poor bloke thought he could safely hide that night in Brum, but no, some Foxes Fans were still there to say hello.... Happy retirement from football Lloyd
HybridFox Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Definitely a fans favourite over the years. Felt it was a shame he never signed on for the prem having helped us to promotion
J.Lisemore Posted 9 September 2020 Posted 9 September 2020 Was gutted that he didn't stay when we got to the Prem. Massive player for us in the years gone by. Happy retirement and best of luck to him
BlueSi13 Posted 10 September 2020 Posted 10 September 2020 Congratulations Lloyd! An excellent professional career and a cult hero at this football club! Part of one of my favourite Leicester City teams of all time! I'm sure the Foxes faithful will be sure to give him a fantastic reception whenever he can come down to see us again
Sly Posted 10 September 2020 Posted 10 September 2020 He must be the only player I know, that has played at Villa, Birmingham and WBA.
