Kieron Dyer: an Appreciation

With the sad news that Kieron Dyer has now retired from football, I wanted to mark the occasion with, as in the best tradition of Big Brother, his best bits whilst playing in the claret and blue.  It took some time to do the editing and whittle it down from his hundreds of flashes of … Read more
