Kieron Dyer was at home on Saturday. It was his wedding anniversary. He and his wife, he said, did not have any big plans. Hollie was planning to take them shopping in the afternoon, the former England midfielder said, and then they were going out for a meal, just the two of them, in the evening.
This summer marked another anniversary, too. It is 20 summers since Dyer and an army of Premier League footballers descended on the resort of Ayia Napa in Cyprus and let loose. There were so many players there that when they had a kickabout on the beach, crowds gathered to watch.
