DYER UNHURT AFTER CAR CRASH

Kieron Dyer has escaped serious injury after being involved in a car crash on Friday morning.

The England international's Mercedes was in collision with a Vauxhall Cavalier outside the club`s Chester-le-Street training ground.

A club statement said: "Newcastle United can confirm that Kieron Dyer was involved in a minor road accident outside the Chester-le-Street training ground.

"As far as the club are aware, other than a few minor cuts and bruises, both drivers were unhurt."

Dyer has not played since the end of February, being plagued by shin and hip problems. He recently had an operation in a bid to cure his ailments before the start of next season.

Despite his inactivity, the 22-year-old has not been short of press attention, with reports claiming that Premiership champions Manchester United were preparing a £15 million bid.

Dyer has stated that he is happy in the North East, with manager Bobby Robson insisting that he intends to build a team around the former Ipswich midfielder

Dozy get.

What is it with players for the Toon and cars? Stuart Pearce nearly gets crushed to death, Griffin writes his motor off, Nobby gets knicked for drink driving (allegedly) and now YKD bumps the arse of a Vauxhall Cavalier. Oh, and much hilarity when YBR was fetched to St James in a car registered "SOS".

All players should be escorted everywhere covered in a foam rubber box. By Order.

Steph drive a cavalier ??

LOL! No I don't, and last time I saw LKD he was driving a Porsche.

Actually, it WAS a Porsche - until it ran into a Cavalier this morning!

BT - YKD was also pinched for speeding (104mph) just a couple of weeks ago on the A1.

PS. It was probably one of them Posh Mercy Days.

Interesting that the reports don't say if he was arriving or leaving the training ground.

I know the report above said at about 9.45 but as luck would have it, I was at the Beeb (handing in ID card, tying up loose ends etc) when the story was coming through and the guy on the wire from Radio Newcastle reckoned that he (YKD) was trying to avoid having to stop for autograph hunters and possibly answer more difficult questions about his future, and 'sped' out of the driveway and crunched into the back end of the Cavalier.

Now I don't know the lay out down there having never been, but (to those of you who do go, Steph, Clark et al) would that be a feasible thing to suggest, and if so, why would he have been leaving at 9.45? 80)

Weird. Maybe he was speeding into CLS to avoid autograph seekers? And hit a car parked or stopped just inside the gates? They do drive through the Cricket Ground parking area to get to the training facility.

Or perhaps he was told to get to Old Trafford for a medical by 11am? Or was it Leeds by 10am? ;-))

I'd say it was highly unlikely he was leaving at 9.45am. He usually arrives around then and doesn't mind stopping for autographs and to chat to the bairns. If he was trying to avoid anyone it would be the press. Maybe one of them drove in front of him?

"they" are trying to unsettle Dyer so he signs for TBCITKU, it has started with "them" trying to run him off the road, next "they" will be depriving him of women or planting unsourced specimens with itchy bits in the concierge of his luxury penthouse.

The biggest club in the known universe I presume? :-)

It wasn't at the training ground. It was on the roundabout leaving the A1(M). I suspect it was an old to$$er inthe Cavalier who couldn't make up his mind whether to go or stay. You know the one - we've all been stuck behind the bu99er haven't we.

Great roundabout that one! Part-time traffic lights and have to get across 3 lanes of traffic for the Riverside turning.

Don't knock that roundabout - when I'm coming home I feel that crossing the top is when I've arrived.

Bit like seeing Durham Cathedral lt up on the hill opposite from the railway (assuming it still is).

Near death last night!! I was one of four people in my mate's Vectra 2.5 V6 that lost it on a bend and went straight through a hedge, thankfully not a tree!!

Everyone healthy and unscathed, god only knows how.

Must be the season for near misses. We'd just pulled out of Leicester Forest East after a potty stop going to Gatwick on Good Friday and I was just starting to put me foot down and glanced in the mirror just in time to see the car behind get clipped on the outside rear by one behind him.

Talk about action and reaction. The one behind me went spinning into the barrier on the central reservation at about a million mph and the other went spinning about two million mph across the carriageway and up the opposite embankment. Looked as if it was just the motors that suffered, though.

And thank god we weren't a few seconds later pulling onto the motorway, might have been us that got clipped. And that it wasn't all that busy. Could easily have been motorway mayhem again.

That would have been a great start to the hols and no mistake.

Pit Bill, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand million times not to exaggerate!

Gus
Honest, I wasn't. It was actually two million and four million mph.:-)
