Robert Arthur Lloyd (March 1868 – 10 January 1942) was a Welsh footballer who played as a full back. He played twice for his country, in 1891 and 1895. He later became a priest in the Church of England.
He was an athletic schoolboy, excelling in the high jump, and his speed earned him a place on the left wing in the school football team; only later did he settle in the full-back position. He played for amateur touring teams and for Rhyl, and it was while a Rhyl player that he was selected as reserve for Wales' match against Ireland in Belfast in February 1891.[3][4] When Seth Powell withdrew, Lloyd took his place at left back in a match that ended as a 7–2 win for the hosts.[5][6] He played once more for Wales, in March 1895 – by which time he was a Ruthin player – in a 2–2 draw with Scotland.[7][8]
^The report of the wedding in the North Wales Times names Lloyd's wife as Ellen,[2] but primary sources – the parish register[9] and the GRO entry[10] – confirm Helen.
