Sid Lloyd has committed his life to ensuring that the necessary infrastructures are in place to accommodate all who wish to play, learn or support amateur football in Japan. In his role as Managing Director of Footy Japan KK, he is devoted to the challenge of expanding the amateur, international football competition and education network in Japan and around the Asia-Pacific regions. A devout Liverpool FC supporter, the multi-faceted, multi-tasking Sid is as adept at coaching as he is at running a company. For a coach, having a sound knowledge of football’s fundamental skills and techniques is a given – how these are communicated and demonstrated to kids from 3-years old and up is where Sid excels as a coach and leads enthusiastically by example. Sid currently plays for Sala FC, in the Tokyo Metropolis League’s 1st Division – a league of semi-professional standard that he instituted and continues to organize. Sid, as a player, has also achieved some notable successes in professional small-sided tournaments in South East Asia. The most remarkable being an impressive victory against an opposition that included: Clive Walker (ex-Chelsea FC), John Barnes (ex-Liverpool FC/England), Gus Cesar (ex-Arsenal) and the iconic Ian Rush (ex-Liverpool FC/Wales).
