Dixie Dean

Bestie played three games for Celtic, but the only away game he played was in Tolka against Shels after Shels offered to split the gate money. He missed their game against Harps because Cork weren't going to make any money off the game, so they didn't bother flying him over.

I read somewhere before that Best played the 3 games for Cork to help keep his fitness up before moving to the L.A. Aztecs.

I remember going to Waterford to see Best (RIP) playing, there was a big crowd there to see him, but he never turned up.:(

Dixie Dean... End of Discussion!

Yep, I'd have to go for Dixie Dean aswell, even though he was an Evertonian!!
