About this deal

It was at the start of the 1971-72 season that McNeil really began to hit the goal trail with a vengeance.

Once the ball was played into the box or down the side of a centre half for him to run onto, however, he came alive. He scored the equaliser at the Racecourse Ground against Blyth Spartans, which took the club to an FA Cup replay at St James' Park, where he scored the winning goal. I didn't remember it was only one season, but I think he was a bit of a rebel so perhaps our manager couldn't handle him.

Away from the Cup, the Club cu rrently sit second in the National League, one point behind Notts County, and McNeil is delighted with the current position.

Dixie McNeil was approaching 30 now and his goalscoring exploits were not enough to provoke interest from the first division. Sunday’s match against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium is set to be a moment of celebration for Wrexham AFC Women Manager Steve Dale, who will record his 50th game in charge of the team,.Last season they faced lowly Marine at this stage, who forced Wrexham to earn a replay, with a late Jordan Davies free-kick salvaging a draw. In 1985, with his squad decimated by injury, McNeil made a brief appearance as a substitute at Notts County in an FA Cup replay.

McNeil scored in every round that season – in 2-0 wins at home to Burton Albion, and away at Preston and another against Bristol City in a 3-0 replay win after the first leg at Ashton Gate ended in a thrilling 4-4 draw.

He then played non-league football at Corby Town as a part-timer, before being signed by neighbouring Northampton Town, where he played for three seasons and scored against the mighty Manchester United in a cup match. The FA Cup is a competition engrained in the Club’s history, with the most famous victory coming against Arsenal in 1992.Despite scoring in one third of the matches he played, he was released at the end of the season, dropping down into the Southern League with Corby Town, who were relegated in McNeil's first season. On the announcement of his retirement the Shropshire Stars’ David Lovett commented that McNeil “had a tremendous sense of humour,” and added that “now he won’t have to take his teeth out when he goes to work. The former Southampton and England winger still had the brains and the touch to lead opponents at this level a merry dance and in McNeil he found the ideal man to profit from his probings. McNeil was assistant manager at Coventry in the 1990/91 - and has fond memories of the club and boss John Sillett, who was also his manager at Hereford United. had watched the Newcastle tie but there were more than 40,000 there for the Blyth game and thousands locked out,” added McNeil.

Les went to take the corner, the flag fell and the linesman told him that he’d have to take it again. Dixie’s work for the BBC and Air Ambulance Wales and incidents from his seven football clubs also feature.

Something had to be done because the club was going down the same old road, I tried to get money for new players but was told none was available.
