Liked to spend his summer holidays in Yorkshire, as he got "few chances to visit my Yorkshire home during the playing season, so I like to make a complete holiday of the summer break." His home was in Malton, where he enjoyed playing tennis and was so accomplished a player that the Yorkshire County selectors watched him with a view to picking him to represent the County.
Went on to play non-league football at Wealdstone and was a popular player at the North-West London club.
His father was "Ginger" Dyson, a renowned jockey.
