Dixie - The Autobiography of Dixie McNeil: The Story of a Wrexham Legend

Product Information

He made his Football League debut for Exeter City in the 1966-67 season against Wrexham, a club he would later play for and manage. McNeil scored on his debut as Wrexham beat Swindon and by the end of October the club were at the top of the league. He was awarded a testimonial by Wrexham, against Kevin Keegan's Premier League side, Newcastle United in 1994.

John told Wrexham I was on 50 per cent more than I was actually getting at Hereford so money-wise, I did pretty well out of the move!

The value of original Press Photos prints has been steadily increasing in value and is expected to to continue doing so.

You won the Welsh FA Cup and qualified for Europe in the process in your first managerial role when you took over at Wrexham. We meet footballing celebrities too, such as Peter Shilton, Graham Taylor, George best, John Sillett and many more whom Dixie met. Then, from a re-taken corner, McNeil bundled in the equaliser and it was back to the North East for another replay. Blyth have no pressure on them, they’ll give 100% as they do, but I know the Wrexham players will be composed, be professional as they are, and hopefully come away with the result. If you receive the ball at your feet you need to be shooting either at the first or second touch of the ball.Honorary Club President Dixie McNeil looks ahead to this weekend's FA Cup clash against Blyth Spartans with fond memories, from when the two sides met in the fifth round back in 1978. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. That he never got the chance to prove his worth at a higher standard can probably be attributed to his somewhat belated entrance as a recognised goalscorer. By the time the season finished with Hereford relegated the clubs leading scorer would have managed only 5. This biography of Dixie McNeil captures the genius of the football legend who shot tp prominence in the 1970s.
