Career

Dyson gained professional status in 1989 and reached the finals for the first time in 1991 Snooker World Championship. He defeated in the qualifiers, among other ex-world champion Cliff Thorburn. In the Crucible Theatre, however, he lost in his first match Ken Doherty with 3:10. In the following years, however, his results were declining, so he gradually fell back from his time between 60th place in the Snooker world rankings in the 1991/92 season until the 1999/2000 season for the first time fell out of the top 128.

This changed, however, when he qualified in 2001 for a second time for the snooker World Cup. Although he lost his opening match there again - this time with 7:10 to Jimmy White - but in the world rankings it was for him up again, where he spent four seasons in succession was in the Top64. However, in the season 2006/ 07 he fell back significantly and missed the qualifier for the following Main Tour season.

As one of only very few players reach him at official tournaments two maximum Breaks: 1999 on the UK Tour and 2000 at the UK Championship.

In addition to the World Championships of 1991 and 2001 it reached a total of six other World Ranking Tournament finals, further success came from though.
