Bernard John Dwyer is an English former rugby league footballer of the 1980s and 90s. He played in the Super League competition and featured as a Second-row. He played for the St. Helens, and Bradford Bulls during a successful rugby league career - he enjoyed the distinction of winning every club honour in the English game.

Dwyer was strengths were viewed as his professional conduct and work rate. His commitment was regarded by observers as exemplary, and this was reflected in his testimonial year at St. Helens where 'the perpetual motion man' was recognised for his work rate. He retired from the sport in 2000.^[1]

In 1995, Dwyer was part of the package that brought Paul Newlove to St. Helens from Bradford.^[2] The deal was a good example of an agreement which suited both parties. Bradford acquired three solid St. Helens players as well as a quarter of a million pounds. This allowed them to build towards the success they would later enjoy. St. Helens in return acquired the world class centre that was to facilitate their drive to return the glory days back to the club.

Dwyer played for Bradford Bulls at hooker in their 1996 Challenge Cup Final loss to St Helens.^[3]

Dwyer played for Bradford Bulls at second-row forward in the 1999 Super League Grand Final which was lost to St Helens RLFC.
