DAVID LLOYD
Former England team coach David Lloyd has been one of the top sporting after dinner speakers for over 15 years.
He is also a powerful motivational speaker, having brought his ideas on teamwork and leadership into effect during his time in charge of the England side.
His true and extremely funny personal cricketing anecdotes are garnered from a life spent as a professional cricketer and a glittering career in which he scored 20,000 runs (including 43 hundreds); took 247 wickets and held 360 catches.
Captain of Lancashire for five years, David played nine times for England, with a top score of 214 not out against India in 1974.
In his last match for Lancashire, he signed off in style by scoring a ton in 1983.
As head coach for Lancashire, he took them to great success in the one-day game before his present job as England coach which led to a series win against the Kiwis in early 1997.
He played at one time for Cumberland before becoming a first-class umpire.
David has also been a much valued member of the BBC’s Test Match Special commentary team where his down to earth Lancastrian views and broad Northern vowels provided the perfect counterpoint to the Southern element.
Known affectionately as "Bumble", Accrington-born David will, hopefully, continue to enrich and enliven the national cricket scene and the after dinner circuit for many more years to come.
David Lloyd - the Autobiography
Since the late-1990s, David Lloyd has suffered the diatribe of press and public alike as coach to an England team that
became the laughing stock of world cricket. This autobiography is painstakingly honest appraisal of Lloyd's attempts to rebuild a tarnished England team, to raise morale and strive to modernize what had become an outdated approach to playing the game in this country.
