"When I was really little, the first worldwide superstar name I heard was Pele. I used to get a Pele book, cut out figures and put them up on my wall. He was later joined by Glenn Hoddle. I was a midfielder, believe it or not, and he was very much my hero. Dyche admits that his sense of boyhood awe quickly went away when he took his first steps in the game."
"Football was not the young Dyche's only passion and that is reflected by his eclectic taste in music and the cultural icons he looked up to. My heroes as a kid weren't just footballers either, he adds. I loved my music. I still do. Loads of musical heroes The Specials and The Jam, Paul Weller was a massive favourite, then into the New Romantics: Duran Duran and Simon Le Bon. Then The Smiths came along, and Morrissey and Johnny Marr are heroes."
Sean Dyche began his senior career at Nottingham Forest in the late 1980s as an uncompromising centre-back. Early childhood idols included Pele and later Glenn Hoddle, with Dyche originally playing as a midfielder. Dyche says his boyhood awe faded after becoming a professional and meeting those figures in person. Football did not exhaust his cultural interests; music played a major role in his life. Musical influences include The Specials, The Jam, Paul Weller, Duran Duran, Simon Le Bon, The Smiths, Morrissey and Johnny Marr. Dyche describes a lasting love of music alongside his footballing background.
