    Is he 'a' black or blacked up? Looking at the picture i'm leaning towards the latter.

    "His nickname "Dixie" is said to have been given to him by fans due to his dark complexion and curly black hair, which was, in their perception, similar to that of African Americans in the Southern United States. Dean himself deeply disliked the moniker, preferring to be known as Bill or Billy."[/quote]

    I heard a story around the time that Cantona Kung-Fu'd that Palace fan that Dixie Dean biffed someone in the crowd once who "remarked" on his skin colour. A copper nearby congratulated him apparently, anyone else ever hear this?

    The second player only has one arm. And he's got a football stuck to the waist of his shorts.
