steelman1991 Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 Dixie was one of the first heroes of mine. Gave opposition centre halfs a torrid time with his ability to "hang" in the air and shall we say "combatitive" style on the ground. Gave Mike England of Spurs the run around in our Texaco Cup tie.

well_said Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 I started going to fir park was in 1968 and Dixie was one of the stars of that team that steamrollered their way to winning the second division . But despite his many goals my main memory of Dixie was in the new year game at Hamilton where him and Lamont the arses goalie were in the middle of the six yard box punching lumps out of each other and unsurprisingly both sent off. Yet another in a list of players over the years that Celtic have stolen from us . RIP Dixie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted December 10 Report Share Posted December 10 Never seen Dixie Deans as a player as he was before I was born Do remember a Friend's Dad from School (lifelong Celtic fan) telling me he used to pay money to go to Fir Park to watch Dixie Deans, then was delighted when he went to Parkhead as he could still watch him Obviously very very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His current run has 8 losses and 2 draws, but they have some easier-looking fixtures coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran about a lot, and looked like a football player, but that was about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, i had the same opinion of him,and we still have some players on the books currently that could also be described in the same terms.

Yassin Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I think he was fairly rubbish but he was a trier and I don't get why he's got stick when playing against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
