Terry Dixon

[geysir]

A Darwinian slip?
Steven Reid?

Try the Hawksley on Derby Road on a Sunday. You'll get your answer in there I'd say...

I remember talking to a cab driver in Durham who knew Andy Reid. The story goes that one time when Reid was at Sunderland he gave him £400 to go to Nottingham, to his apartment and pick up his guitar in the midst of a sesuin... The provenance from the story comes from the description given by the driver of the area, you would have had to had been there. Other bits and bobs he dropped into the conversation made me believe the story.

I've heard from a couple of people through the years who know Andy Reid that he doesn't drink. Maybe he does now but 2/3 yers ago he didn't according to those folk

Eoin Wearen mentioned Terry Dixon on twitter earlier, so I was wondering where he is now
Turns out he signed for Aylesbury FC in the Evo-Stik League Southern Division One Central just a week and a half ago: http://nonleague.pitchero.com/news/moles-sign-ex-spurs-striker-35841/

Jesus the worm! Forgot all about him...Probably married with kids these days!

Oh and Terry Dixon, shame his career didnt pan out as expected/hoped, thems the breaks I suppose

[tetsujin1979]

Worm still posts the weekend goalscorers on YBIG, but as far as I can tell, other than that one weekly post, he's abandoned the site

[Charlie Darwin]

I bet they knew Terry Dixon ha signed for Aylesbury before Terry did over at YBIG. They're the real superfans.

Really good interview with Dixon on football.london: https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/terry-dixon-troy-parrott-spurs-17702642

[Colbert Report]

"I started to drink alcohol quite a lot. That wasn't a good time for me. I was quite depressed."

"Also I was stuck in bad habits. I was still drinking and it was non-stop. Then they gave me all that money at West Ham and I didn't know what to do with it. I was just going out all the time and it kills me now just thinking about it."
He added: "Nowadays you can't drink alcohol every other day like I was. You can't drink alcohol every week and be a professional footballer in the Premier League. Those days are gone. You just can't do it any more."

Very sad combination of knee injuries and alcohol consumption.

This is the game thread from the Armenia game mentioned in the article above - https://foot.ie/threads/132399-U21-Vs-Armenia

Considering there was four future internationals in the starting XI, plus Clifford, Garvan and Scannell who all made the bench, it really does make the result (which was terrible at the time) even worse

Dixon interviewed in the Irish Mirror over the weekend

Sounds like we need to have a thread going for eight year old left winger Teddy Dixon.

It's finally happened. I've been around long enough to see the whole hype cycle, from brilliant teenager to injury-blighted disappointment to insane optimism in the next generation. ;)

I've got a post on the first page of the thread about him reinjuring his knee :(
It's been a long and bumpy road since then!

The best sentence in this thread

Is there a way we can blame Stan and Delaney for this? "

[John83]

We have a quote function, you madman!

[Eminence Grise]

But isn't it kind of perfect that mentioning Stan and Lolly, sorry Delaney, makes hard work out of a short cut?
