White Kings
Debutant
Absolute champion player, and a champion bloke.
Played with him briefly at Western Jets all those years ago, did a week of rehab training with Lloydy, just myself and him. Chewed the fat, nicest bloke ever.
A few years later, strolling through a packed Crown Casino with my mates, they noticed a group of Essendon boys playing Two Up about 20 metres away, and told me to look over. Lloydy just happened to look over my way, caught my eye and yelled out "How are ya Chris?" giving the thumbs up .He could've just looked right through me, him being an AFL player and me being a scrub. Didn't even expect him to remember me, but said hello anyway.
Always remember that, and will always appreciate it as I worshipped him as a footballer already at that stage, and he was probably 19 years old.
Couldn't have had a better career. Farewell to a champion.
