Lancashire County Cricket Club has recognised legendary West Indies captain Sir Clive Lloyd with a stand named in his honour at their historic Old Trafford ground.The Sir Clive Lloyd Stand will be unveiled on Wednesday during the fourth Test match between England and India.Lloyd, who captained the West Indies to two World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979, is being celebrated alongside his former Lancashire team-mate, India wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer, for their exceptional contributions to both Lancashire and the sport of cricket globally.The Guyanese icon joined Lancashire in 1968 and enjoyed a distinguished 20-year association with the club, becoming a pivotal figure during a golden era.He amassed 12,764 runs for the county in 219 matches, including 30 of his first-class centuries, and played a key role in winning several trophies.Engineer represented Lancashire for nine seasons, scoring 5,942 runs, taking 429 catches and completing 35 stumpings.Together, they were instrumental in Lancashire’s success, which included winning three successive Gillette Cup finals and two consecutive Sunday League titles.Lloyd famously scored a match-winning 126 in the 1972 Gillette Cup final against Warwickshire.Sir Clive Lloyd expressed his gratitude in a statement: “I am deeply honoured and humbled by this recognition.Old Trafford has always held a special place in my heart – it’s where I spent some of the most memorable years of my career. To have a stand named after me at this historic ground is truly one of the special moments of my life.”Reflecting on his arrival in Manchester, he added: “When I first arrived in Manchester as a young man from Guyana, I could never have imagined the incredible journey that lay ahead.Lancashire gave me a home, a family, and the opportunity to play the game I love with passion and pride. This Club shaped me both as a cricketer and as a person.”Sir Clive also shared his hopes for the future: “What makes this moment so emotional is knowing that young players – from here and around the world – will look up at that stand and maybe feel inspired, just as I once was walking into this ground for the first time.”He concluded by acknowledging his fellow honouree and the supporters: “I share this honor with Farokh, a great friend and brother, as well as all our teammates, and the Lancashire supporters who stood by me through triumphs and trials.Cricket has always been a team game, and my name on this stand reflects all the people who helped me along the way.”The post Sir Clive Lloyd honoured with stand named after him at Old Trafford appeared first on News Room Guyana.
