BOF Posted May 15, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2018 A more local article Quote Footballer Jlloyd Samuel dies in crash near Lymm FORMER Premier League footballer Jlloyd Samuel has died in a car crash near Lymm this morning. The 37-year-old ex-Aston Villa and Bolton player was killed in the two-vehicle collision on West Lane. The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association confirmed the news on their Facebook page today, Tuesday. The statement statement: "We've received some terrible news that former National defender and Ex-Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers player Jlloyd Samuel died in a car crash this morning in England. "According to reports, Jlloyd was returning home after dropping his kids off to school and collided with an oncoming vehicle. "The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association and his former national teammates at this time extends deepest condolences to his family members both in the UK and here in Trinidad and Tobago." Police have confirmed that the footballer, who had most recently been manager of non-league side Egerton, died at the scene. His next of kin have been informed and are currently being supported by specially trained officers. Police remain at the scene on West Lane following the collision involving a Range Rover and a van at 7.55am. The driver of the van, a 54-year-old man, sustained serious injuries and has been taken to hospital for treatment. Firefighters attended the crash as one of the vehicles was 'well alight' near Costcutter. Witnesses reported how members of the public rushed to try to rescue the footballer after the fire broke out. Road closures have been put in place at either end of West Lane, near the junctions of the A56 and the A50, as emergency services deal with the incident. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.

Remember those, I sat in the Trinity as a kid that season and he was great linking up with Vass and Barry attacking the north end.. Really silky player beating players with feints and cuts inside - nearly scored a worldy against Leeds doing that. Probably remember the performances of him that season more vividly than any player since So gutted, RIP J LO.

djdabush Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Awful news, RIP Jlloyd. Think this one hits home a bit more for me because he’s not far off my age and I drive down that road regularly. So sad that young kids have to deal with such a traumatic event, my thoughts are with his family. Edited May 15, 2018 by djdabush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the playing side of things he gave us some pretty good service overall, was absolutely exceptional for most of the 2003/2004 season and scored a couple of really good goals against Charlton (home and away). I remember that game very well. Was a cracking goal. RIP JLloyd, I always thought your J11OYD license plate was great when I was a kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
