    The jockey Sean Quinlan in a drunken state attacked an innocent drinker in a pub,
    and fighting and kicking ensued, this happened last August. You can see this on youtube as it was on cctv.
    Why does Kerry Dixon get sent to prison yet Quinlan, who once head butted a horse, gets away with it? Did Dixon have previous ?

    Maybe the horse didn't press charges.

    Perhaps he was with the Chelsea fans trying to climb the fence to get at us!

    Must be tough for his generation of players who earned a tiny fraction of what many less talented players can earn today.

    I hadn't realised that Dixon was released by Spurs within a matter of weeks of winning this trophy and ended up playing for Chesham and then Dunstable before starting his pro career at Reading. The irony is that he ended up scoring more goals than the whole of the squad below, put together, even taking into account the likes of Mark Falco and Terry Gibson.

    There's one player of interest to us in the photo though - the diminutive left back Kevin Dickenson who joined after being freed by Spurs, playing 75 games before moving to Orient for the rest of his career. 

    May be an image of 16 people people playing football people playing soccer and text that says MINERVA SUPREME Tottenham Hotspur Youth Team 1978-79 Pictured with the trophy won in the international Youth tournament in Dusseldorf at Easter and the South East Counties League Division Championship Cup Left to right back row Peter Shreeves Youth Team Manager P Allies Cooper Dixon G Brown A Parks Falco G Mazzon P Southey Ron Henry Trainer Front row C Harvey G Reardon J Bolton G Brooke A Hamill K Dickenson T Gibson

    Cracking kit. I remember a shop in Blackfen called San Fernando used to sell kits that were a year or two out of date back in the late 70’s/early 80’s. They had this one and a lot of other admiral ones too. They were dirt cheap, if only I’d had the foresight to buy a load, keep them pristine and flog them now. They’d have been worth a fortune.

    My dad knows him from Dunstable (where i grew up), used to do security/minder type work for him at Stanford Bridge from time to time. 

    Pretty sure the last time Kerry was in Dunstable he was running a pub... which he did a runner from either with or owning cash.

    Cracking photo !! I work with Kevin D and while still diminutive, he has a little less hair now (don’t we all?). As you said, he played a lot for Orient after his time at the Valley, but still has some great stories about some of our characters at the end of the 70s. He’s a top bloke so thanks for mentioning.

    I'm sure I saw Kevin Dickinson at Lords when England were playing West Indies in 84 I think. Decent player.
    Before somebody writes he was a spectator not playing.

    That's a great photo and lots of players who got 1st Team league football....Falco, Brooke, Parks, Dixon and Gibson being the stand-outs. Kevin Dickenson never let us down when he played and it's odd to think he was replaced when Paul Friar was moved from RB to LB. Dickenson had a very decent time at Orient after that and played in some cracking FA Cup games for them. 

    I remember George Mazzon getting a couple of games at Spurs before going to Aldershot. I had to look up Alex Hamill....526 games in the Scottish league.

    He was one of the guests of honour at a charity thing for my mate over Hampton court way one night. We ruined him all night. Calling him a Les Battersby look a like. He took it very well I must say. A good egg.
