Danny Dyer shares beautiful tribute to daughter Dani and Jarrod Bowen as actor labels West Ham and England star a 'lovely geezer'

The former EastEnders star has been very active on the footballing circuit and when his daughter started dating Bowen, that went to another level as he started regularly visiting West Ham and England matches to support his daughter's boyfriend. He has now praised the forward and provided an insight into Bowen and Dani’s blossoming relationship.

Speaking on talkSPORT's Breakfast Show, Dyer said: "It’s a weird one when you’ve got daughters because they do bring home fellas that are no good. The thing about Jarrod is that he’s such a lovely geezer. He’s humble, quite a shy kid and loves my daughter and worships the ground she walks on.

"That means the world to me and the bonus is he got the winning goal in Prague [Europa Conference League final in 2013], so I feel sorry for my other daughter who’s 17. She can never bring a boy home that can ever match what this boy has done!

"It’s a beautiful thing, I’m so happy for the pair of them, they're so bang in love. She hasn't seen him," Dyer added. "He’s been away for six weeks. It's been a very intense camp. She’s been going back and forth, every time she goes we’ve got the chavs unfortunately for us!"

On the show, Dyer also talked about the mood in the England camp following their heartbreaking loss against Spain in the Euro 2024 final. He said: "After the game you wait for the players to come and see you. Usually, if we lose a game, I’m out the door. We had to sit and watch the Spanish celebrate for an hour and a half, so that hurt. Then the players came and they were all a bit down and I think everyone was in shock.

"I think we all really did believe this time. I’m so grateful that the boys scored that goal and we had the chance to jump around. Every boozer, we had the opportunity to jump around cuddle each other an go crackers because it was underwhelming the whole game and then of course they done us in the last minute. They only just nicked it off us but what a side Spain are."

Bowen only played 35 minutes at the Euros for Gareth Southgate and, after a break with Dani, will return to pre-season training with the West Ham squad as they prepare for the start of the Premier League season.
