Colin Lloyd (Underrated Players #13)

[The Thorn]

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

You on twatter mate? You following me yet?

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

Follow me mate I follow everyone back I play nice

He's overrated.

When he was #1, that was overrated.

The ranking system was different then if I remember and Taylor didn't play every event. I always liked Lloyd and not sure he's under or over rated, as he won his majors in good fields.

When he was #1, that was overrated.

If you compared him to Taylor, then yes. Not Lloyd's fault that he played all the floor events and did well, while Taylor skipped a lot of them and saved his best form for the TV events.

At least Lloyd didn't grope women

+1

It was the same when Manley was PDC number 1 earlier in the decade.

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!

Good summary.

I had forgotten that Rod mentored Lloydy.
