===Nottingham Forest===
In 1976 [[Brian Clough]], acting on [[Peter Taylor (footballer, born 1928)| Peter Taylor]]'s  advice, snapped up Lloyd for £60,000 after an initial loan period. Forest were chasing promotion to the top flight in English football. He made his Forest debut on 2 October in a league match against [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]]. Forest lost 1–0 away at [[Boothferry Park]]. It did not prevent Lloyd going on to win promotion with Forest that season. They won the League title the next season, and also won the League Cup final, against Lloyd's former club, Liverpool.

In 1979, Lloyd and Forest won the European Cup and retained the League Cup.

In the [[1979-80 in English football|1979–80]] League Cup they reached the final for the third season running but lost to [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]].
