Personal life
Lyon's younger brother Jack also became a footballer. After service in the Territorial Army between 1909 and 1913, Lyon served in the East Yorkshire Regiment during the First World War and suffered wounds which necessitated him spending 15 months in hospital. After the war, he worked as a wholesale fish merchant and played bowls, at which he represented Yorkshire.
