Kieron Dyer is being driven out of Newcastle United by angry fans.

The Journal says Dyer was booed by sections of Newcastle's crowd during the 2-0 victory over Juventus despite the fact his performance was praised by manager Sam Allardyce. And worse was to follow for the England international when he left the ground, as fans screamed abuse and then surrounded his car, banging on the windows, as he tried to drive away from the stadium.

It's also reported Dyer's home near Ponteland has had eggs thrown at its windows since it emerged the 28-year-old is keen to leave the North-East so he can move closer to his young family in Ipswich. Chairman Chris Mort said: "It's well known there has been interest in Kieron from several clubs and that he might want to move on for family reasons. However, he remains an important part of the squad and is working hard for the team as he showed with his performance on Sunday.

"We have got to make all our current players and potential new signings see Newcastle as a great place to live and it would be disastrous for the club for this sort of behaviour to be repeated."
