Used Dean as his stage name in homage to Dixie

He still lives in Woolton. He turned the Christmas lights on a few years ago if I remember right. Quite well spoken as well.

If I remember right all the cast in the show supported the opposite team then in real life, like a running joke.

Be honest, who had Tin Heads calendar on the bed room wall?

Ricky Tomlinson was a red in Brookside and in real life...and a member of the NF. :coffee:

I love the very last line on this

Living the dream, I wish i'd been able to do that. Not sure my good lady would have enjoyed it as much as me though. Couldn't give a rats ass about footy.

What a legend. Wish I worked in a trade where I could have a professional name like that.
