Geoffrey Lloyd (born 11 September 1951), also known by the nickname of "Sammy" (after his father Samuel "Sammy" Lloyd), is a former professional rugby league footballer who played as a wing, second-row or loose forward in the 1960s and 1970s.
He played at representative level for Great Britain (non-Test matches) and Yorkshire, and at club level for Castleford and Hull FC as a right-footed round the corner style (rather than toe-end style) goal-kicker during the era of contested scrums.In 1978, Lloyd was transferred from Castleford to Hull F.C.
for a transfer-fee of £12,000 (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £106,900 in 2014).
In his first home game for the club, he converted 14 goals in a 61–10 victory over Oldham, equalling Jim Kennedy's club record for the most goals scored in a single match.
The record was subsequently also equalled by Matt Crowther, who is coincidently Lloyd's nephew.
