Kevin Dyson (born 4 May 1967) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne and the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL) during the 1990s.
Dyson, recruited to Melbourne from Oakleigh, was a consistent performer in his debut AFL season. Playing mostly as a centreman, he appeared in five finals matches while at Melbourne and made his first and only Grand Final when he crossed to Sydney in 1996.[citation needed]
He retired after the 1997 season, due to his job with an electronics and computer company required him to often travel and preventing him from being able to train full-time.[1] He remained in Sydney after retiring from playing, and has recently been involved in setting up a football academy for the Swans.[2]
