The worst kit and clothing ever! Changed the badge, the style and material was awful. I was around 18-19 during that period and bought nothing!

Indeed. A great front three.

What would king Kerry be worth in this day and age? And is exactly what our team needs at present

Reminds me of Vardy both good in their own ways yet never really appreciated though for different reasons.

Good comparison, Dixon played in the era of two players hyped by media within England, Lineker and Mark Hateley, to be fair Lineker proved himself on the world stage and Hateley had a good spell at Milan which was rare for English players abroad, unfortunately Dixon didn't have those high profile experiences to raise his stock and remember he played for Chelsea in their crumbling down stadium and hooligan following which wasn't so media friendly, Vardy similar plays for unfashionable Leicester and has or had the media darlings Rooney and Kane in front of him. Dixon will always be "England's England's number 9"

I played against Keith Jones several times. He used to play for the SE Counties side on a Saturday and Battersea Devas in Sunday’s. We were both centre midfield. Half their team were on schoolboy forms with London clubs, but he was the one who stood out.

Good question asked :Some fine names mentioned here. Pat signed for £95,000. How much would he go for now ?

I'd say Pat would go for 'a ridiculous amount.' This amount, however is totally in keeping with what seems to be the market value currently for players !

The current market value of wages and transfer fees was undreamed of back then !

I remember being amazed when Joe Jordan was asking for £1,000 a week for Man Utd back in the summer of (I think) 1981.

They never agreed to this sum and he moved to AC Milan.
