Lloyd said: "1997 and 1998 he took the finals series by storm. He was just gliding across the field like silk, whether he bounced the ball, took three bounces, they just couldn't catch him. The way he used the football was exceptional, and despite not being a big man, made you feel comfortable playing with because he just had so much poise."
