As the Godfather of the TML and Footy Japan, Sid Lloyd requires no introduction. On account of his efforts to provide footballing opportunities for foreign residents in Japan, Sid is quite possibly the most famous Japan-based British footballer since Gary Lineker. Performing with great expertise as both a keeper and a striker, Sid knows how to put the ball in the net, and how to keep it out. Also takes a mean freekick.
