Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer still feels 'incredibly guilty' about refusing to play out of position for Bobby Robson.
The England star embarrassed former Newcastle boss Robson by claiming he would not turn out on the right side of midfield at Middlesbrough in August 2004.
'I still feel incredibly guilty about that,' Dyer told the Daily Mirror.
'The players at Newcastle used to call me 'Bobby's son' because he would give me special treatment and the odd day off to go back home to Ipswich and I let him down massively.
'He was sacked soon after which made it all a hundred times worse. I should never have done that. I was just young and naive and stupid.
'It's something I will have to live with for the rest of my life and I'm thankful that when I rang him after he was fired he accepted my apology.'
