Peter Haswell Lloyd (16 November 1920[1] – 4 May 1972[2]) was a British television sports commentator, who specialised in football commentaries.
He is notable for having given, alongside former England captain Billy Wright, the first ever live television commentary on an English Football League match, when the second half of Blackpool versus Bolton Wanderers was shown by ITV on 10 September 1960.
As was the practice then, the commentary was split between Lloyd and Jimmy Jewell, the BBC's main television football voice of the time.
Lloyd subsequently worked for the commercial ITV network following its launch in 1955, covering its first live football match between Tottenham Hotspur and Vasas Budapest.
In the 1950s and 60s he also provided commentary for ITV on other sports such as figure skating[15] and cricket,[16] as well as on non-sporting events including royal wedding broadcasts in 1960[17] and 1961.
