10 best players of all time from Lancashire

3. Clive Llyod

Clive Lloyd was voted by Lancashire fans as their greatest player ever in an online poll

One of the greatest captains in the history of the game, Clive Lloyd, who led West Indies to 2 successive World Cup triumphs in 1975 and 1979, signed up for Lancashire in 1969, three years after making his Test debut.

He proved a strong presence in the middle order and commanded respect from his teammates though he did find his initial days at Lancashire tough.

However, he earned the respect of the club's fans with his long and dedicated service to the county and was named as Lancashire's best ever player in an official online poll conducted for the fans.

Lloyd made 273 first-class appearances for Lancashire scoring 12764 runs at an average of 45 while he proved an even bigger influence in the one-day format both as player and skipper scoring more than 8500 runs from 273 matches.
