Niche Cache. Dyer to Blackburn Rovers. Duff make it happen!
I am joking of course, but then again late bloomers happen in football. Just ask Jamie Vardy. Waine's team mate at Mansfield Lee Gregory another. He was 26 when he debuted for Millwall in The Championship, that's after kicking around English 5th-6th tier football. He did score 30 goals for Halifax in the National League season before moving to The Den. Dyer is 28.

“Of course we have our meetings but you don’t need me to highlight one of the top, if not the top, strikers in the league. Unless you’re hid under a rock. So yeah we knew he was a threat. And two goals again for him today.”
Duffman earned over 100 international caps for the Republic of Ireland and nearly 400 times in the English Premier League so we’d better listen to him when he says that Moses Dyer might be the top striker in the League of Ireland. It’d be rude not to. Especially since that claim has only gained in evidence since he spoke it, what with Moses Dyer scoring another brace a week later to lead Galway United to a comeback win against league leaders Drogheda United...
If you’re wondering what it would take to get Dyer into All Whites contention, there’s a precedent for picking players out of this league thanks to Max Mata and Nando Pijnaker. Those two were amongst the very best players in their positions across the League of Ireland but right now so is Moses Dyer – and he’s got an Irish legend’s testimony to prove it. What’s more, Max Mata’s best season in Ireland saw him score 11 times from 23 games (leaving midseason to join Shrewsbury Town in England) and Dyer’s (7 goals so far) on pace to clear that sooner rather than later.
That doesn’t make him a shoe-in... but it should get him into the conversation if he’s still doing this in a couple of months when Darren Bazeley next picks his squad. Even back in Canada, Dyer was talking about his desire to earn an All Whites recall. He’s motivated. That’s for sure."
