He retired as a player in 2013 and later went into coaching – as well as taking part in a number of reality TV shows – but in an emotional interview opened up to Mail Sport about how his liver was being ravaged by a rare disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and how he almost run out of time before a donor was found.
Friends thought that Dyer would be dead before there was a chance of a transplant, but even though he was ‘as yellow as Bart Simpson’, Dyer did not give up hope and a donor was found in September.
