Career

John Charles signed Tyler for Hereford United in 1969 from amateur football in Swindon;[2][3] he had previously been rejected by several clubs due to him having a hole in his heart. He was part of the team that famously knocked Newcastle United out of the FA Cup,[4] and gained election to the Football League in 1972. Tyler subsequently signed for West Ham United for a then non-league record fee of £25,000.[5] He made just 29 league appearances in one-and-a-half seasons,[1] his only league goal for the club scored against Peter Shilton. He returned to Hereford in November 1973, eventually reaching a total of 329 competitive appearances for the club with 69 goals scored.

After retiring from professional football, he joined non league Malvern Town, eventually becoming player-manager, followed by stints at Westfields and Pegasus Juniors in Hereford, both playing and managing. He worked as a salesman for a plastics company.[4] As of 2016, Tyler still lived in Hereford.[6]
