The first was in a match against Worcestershire, which resulted in a draw. Less than a week later, Lyon made his only other first-class appearance, against Nottinghamshire. He was a right-handed batsman and made 6 runs in his 2 matches. He bowled 2 overs without taking a wicket.
After World War I, Lyon played cricket for the Free Foresters.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
