Dolan grew up alongside Jeremy Wisten - a team-mate and close friend from his academy years. "He was the best person you could meet and we did everything together," says Dolan.

"I think for him it was facing the world knowing that he didn't have that logo of a footballer," says Dolan. They say 'oh, there's the footballer Tyrhys' or 'there's the footballer Jeremy'.
