Albert Edward Dyer (born 20 December 1886) was an English footballer who played as an inside-forward for Southampton in the 1900s.
Football career[]
Dyer was born in Portsmouth and played youth football in Southampton where he was spotted by Southampton F.C. for whom he signed in the 1906 close season.[1]
He spent most of his career at The Dell in the reserves and made his solitary first-team appearance at Northampton Town on 6 April 1907 when Sam Jepp was taken ill shortly before kick-off.[1] Dyer played at inside-right with Frank Jefferis moving to the left and Wally Radford moving into the centre-forward position. The match finished 4–2 to Southampton, with two goals from Radford and one each from Patten and Mouncher.[2]
Dyer remained with the "Saints" until September 1908 playing reserve-team football. He then briefly joined Gainsborough Trinity of The Football League, but returned to Hampshire within a month and was taken on by Eastleigh Athletic, whom he helped win the Hampshire Senior Cup in 1909.[1]
Dyer then moved between various local clubs until his football career was ended by the First World War.[1]
