Personal life

The reason for his extensive, long name – Kieron Lloyd Junior Minto St Aimie, was mentioned by St Aimie, he said: "Lloyd was my dad's name so he called me Lloyd Junior." "It is a long name I know. St Aimie is a French name. My mum is from Dominica and they speak Creole so it is broken down French." ^[3]

He also has two cousins who play at a semi-professional level, Simon St Aimie who was a former Dagenham & Redbridge player and Steven St Aimie played at Waltham Forest. ^[34]
