Almost certainly underated

Not for one second suggesting he would have gone on to win the thing, but...what if he'd beaten Barney at the Circus in 2006/07?

For one Barney fans would be a lot less annoying as their man would have no world championship wins!

He would still have 4 mate.

Probably a Taylor vs. Lloyd final.

That must haunt him

The previous year's loss to Gary Welding must haunt Lloyd even worse, especially given how brilliant Lloyd had played in the first 2 sets. And at the time, Lloyd had been playing with a confident swagger, being the reigning World Matchplay champion, the world number 1 because of his excellent floor form while playing all the floor tournaments etc., On the negative side for Lloyd, Taylor had taken Lloyd's World Grand Prix crown with a 7-1 thrashing in the 2005 final.

[Rogg]

Ultimately a big dotty lad, maybe in the Jocky mould. He seemed very passionate and determined in the short time that he held God's guiding hand.

It was not exactly a Bristow>Taylor dynasty but two good guys. I liked Lloydy.

Happily he peaked at the right time to mop up a couple of Taylor disasters and he seemed like a floor beast which helped.

He was Deta's boyfriend too!

Hawaii 501 was a nemesis for Lloyd at the World Championship. In 2004, Lloyd led 3-1 in sets in the last 16, only to lose something like 9 out of 10 legs. In 2005, Lloyd lost a sudden death leg in the quarter finals.

Did you bellow at him that Bristow would have strangled him in his infancy?

And raking his shirt off
He took it in good humour

He's overrated.

When he was #1, that was overrated.

Lloydy!

My mate from Twitter, good guy and a great, under-respected player of his era. 100% underrated these days, he's never mentioned by any pundits despite winning two proper majors and being World #1 in 3 different years

Not as my forum persona but I got talking to Lloyd a few years back when he followed me, he's incredibly sound
