Career
Born in Eltham, London, Pyke was a youth team player with West Ham United. He made only 22 appearances for "The Hammers" before moving to Crystal Palace on 9 June 1959 in exchange for Ron Brett. His Palace career was even shorter and amounted to only two games before he moved to Dartford, in June 1960.
When his football career ended Pyke became the landlord of the Papermakers Arms public in Dartford, Kent.
