Career & Clubs
A midfielder, Lloyd began his senior career at First Division club Chelsea. He failed to break into the first team before joining Fulham in December 1968, in a player-exchange deal which saw John Dempsey move to Chelsea for a £70,000 fee. Lloyd made 286 appearances and scored 30 goals during 7+1⁄2 seasons at Craven Cottage and captained the club to promotion from the Third Division in the 1970–71 season. He was an unused substitute during the 2–0 1975 FA Cup Final defeat to West Ham United. Lloyd wound down his career with spells at Hereford United, Brentford and Houston Hurricane, before retiring in 1978.
Yeovil Town
Lloyd began his management career at Southern League Premier Division club Yeovil Town in August 1978. During the 1978–79 season, he oversaw a mid-table finish and won the Somerset Premier Cup. The Glovers were transferred to the new Alliance Premier League for the 1979–80 season and with the club's league form mixed, he was sacked in January 1981.
Worthing
Lloyd joined Isthmian League Second Division club Worthing in 1981 and won a double-promotion in his first two seasons in charge, with top-spot finishes in the Second and First Divisions respectively elevating the club to the Premier Division for the 1983–84 season. The team finished runners-up in 1983–84 and 1984–85, but failed to achieve promotion to the Alliance Premier League before Lloyd's departure at the end of the 1985–86 season.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Lloyd returned to the Football League when he joined Second Division club Brighton & Hove Albion as assistant to manager Alan Mullery in 1986. After Mullery was sacked in January 1987, Lloyd was promoted into the role, but he could not prevent Brighton's relegation to the Third Division at the end of the 1986–87 season. In his first full season as manager, Lloyd won immediate promotion back to the Second Division with a runners-up finish, largely thanks to 32-goal forward Garry Nelson. Two successful battles against relegation followed, before Lloyd guided the club to the 1991 Second Division play-off final, which was lost 3–1…
