IT is great to see local lad Simon Dyson doing so well at golf. Simon hails from a great sporting family from Malton.
His grandad J 'Ginger' Dyson was one of England's leading lightweight jockeys in the late forties/early fifties. Ginger was also a stable lads boxing champion at 6st-7lbs.
Simon's uncle Terry was a team player in the famous Tottenham Hotspur team who did the League and cup double and European Cup-Winners' Cup. Simon's dad John played for Scarborough, Scunthorpe and York City Reserves.
Not only were the family brilliant at their chosen professions but excelled at any sport you care to mention.
