David Lloyd (born 1950) is a British comics artist best known as the illustrator of the graphic novel V for Vendetta, written by Alan Moore.
David Lloyd (born March 18, 1947 in Accrington, Lancashire, England) is a former English cricketer who played county cricket for Lancashire and also played Test cricket and one-day international cricket for England. He also played semi-professional football for Accrington Stanley. A left-handed batsman, he played 9 Tests and with the bat he scored 552 runs at an average of 42.46 with one double-hundred (214*) and no fifties. Lloyd started his media career in the early 1990's with Test Match Special, where his humorous outlook proved very popular. He is now working as a commentator and pundit for Sky Sports, where his analysis is usually delivered in a light-hearted manner. Lloyd performs a comedy 'pitch report' for 'Cricket AM', where he has assessed various 'pitches', including a bog. He also overlooks and commentates on the annual Mascot Derby at the Twenty20 Cup final days.
Prior to becoming a pundit, "Bumble" was a first class umpire and a respected coach. He was the man in charge for the majority of Lancashire's one-day successes of the mid 1990s and was England coach from 1996 to 1999, resigning after a disappointing World Cup on home soil.
Lloyd's son Graham Lloyd was also a professional cricketer for Lancashire and played One Day International cricket for England during his father's spell as coach.
David Lloyd (c. 1938 - 30 May 2006) was an evolutionary biologist and the seventh New Zealander to be elected as a fellow of the Royal Society in London. He did pioneering work on the theory of plant reproduction.
In December of 1992, Lloyd fell victim to poisoning by acrylamide, a common laboratory chemical. As a result, he laid in a coma for three months and he was left blind, mute, and quadriplegic. His former lover and fellow molecular biologist Vicki Calder was tried twice for his attempted murder. The first trial ended with a hung jury and the second acquitted her.
David Lloyd (January 3, 1948) is an former professional English tennis player and businessman.
He was born in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. He and his younger brother John Lloyd became two of the most successful British tennis players throughout the 1970s and 1980s. David captained the British Davis Cup team and became a leading figure in the Lawn Tennis Association. He founded the David Lloyd Tennis Clubs and David Lloyd Leisure and Next Generation fitness clubs as a successful businessman. He was also briefly Chairman of Hull City. He also coached Tim Henman several years ago.
In May 2007, Lloyd bought the collection of artist Willard Wigan, who makes tiny sculptures which can fit into the eye of a needle. The 70 piece collection was bought for around £160,000 for each item, at a total of £11.2 million.

He was also Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
David Lloyd (born June 1872 in Hackney, London) was an English footballer who played for Thames Ironworks, the club that went on to become West Ham United.
Lloyd played for the Third Grenadier Guards before moving to the Irons in 1898. He played for Thames Ironworks during the 1898-99 season, the club's only season in the Southern League Division Two.
Lloyd, who was six foot four inches in height, played as a forward, although his first two league games for Thames Ironworks were as a full-back. He scored a hattrick on his debut as a forward, against St Albans, and went on to score 14 goals in 11 games in the position. He also played in three FA Cup games.
After finishing the season as champions, Lloyd scored in the test match against Sheppey United, but in the end the result didn't matter as Division One was increased from 13 to 19 teams for the 1899-1900 season. He ended the 1898-99 season as top scorer for West Ham, but moved on before they played in the enlarged division.
David Llewellyn Lloyd (d. 1996) was an English deer-stalker, metallurgist, ballistician and sporting rifle maker, of Northamptonshire, England and Glencassley in Sutherland, Scotland. After service in the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War, extensive deer stalking, and frequent rifle shooting visits to Bisley ranges, Lloyd established the David Lloyd & Co. riflemakers company (registered company 05202134) at Pipewell Hall in 1936, and in the early 1950s developed the .244 H&H Magnum rifle cartridge, later adopted by Holland and Holland of London.
Lloyd developed the distinctive Lloyd rifle concept, and from the 1960s to the mid 1990s he built high-quality, magazine-fed sporting rifles with distinctively integral scope sights, capable of dependably high accuracy at long ranges, and of handling modern high-intensity, flat shooting cartridges such as the .244 H&H, the .264 Winchester Magnum and the .25-06 Remington.
The UK shooting sports weekly Shooting Times voted the Lloyd rifle number 8 in its list of the top 12 Rifles of All Time (the Kalashnikov AK-47 was number 7), and Country Life magazine described Lloyd himself as “a National Living Treasure”. Lloyd rifles are admired, owned and used by eminent international small-arms experts, including riflemakers Bill Ruger and Roy Weatherby, and by several owners of Scottish deer forests. In an active deer-stalking career extending to well over 60 years, David Lloyd accounted for more than 5,000 Scottish highland red deer stags, the vast majority of them with rifles he had built himself.
Lloyd's wife Evadne (“Bobby” - the longest-serving governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company in its history) keenly supported him in his business, and helped him to source fine walnut blanks for his rifle stocks from various European sources. On Lloyd's death in 1996 she took on the business, which by then was doing little trading, and ran it until her own death in 2003, when the company was sold to John Shirley, formerly Technical Manager with James Purdey and Sons of London. He subsequently offered the business name, goodwill and records of the David Lloyd company for sale at auction in London in December, 2006.
