2025/26 Jordan Pickford

[tommytowne]

Read this the other day, don't know if it's true or not.

'I think Dixon has a problem with Everton because of the Kevin McLeod thing.

I was there, saw it happen, he brought it on himself.

He has spoken about it since, McLeod gave an interview about it not long ago to the Echo I think.

For those who don't remember, in a game 20+ years ago, Dixon was kicking the [Poor language removed] out of Idan Tal all game and the ref didn't do anything about it despite Everton players and the crowd complaining all game.

Unsworth (edited to correct) told McLeod (coming on as a sub) to do Dixon. McLeod told Dixon as we was running on what he was going to do to him, and then went through him with a horror challenge soon after.

Dixon had to go off, and while it's a myth it ended his career, he was north of 30 and he was never the same after and played sporadically until he retired.

He has genuinely hated Everton ever since and that is now something Pickford gets.'

I love that version. Hope it's true.

Above is the link to the match.

You can see some clashes between Dixon and Tal (Usually the yard dog on Tal) at 54 mins, 58 mins and 1:11 mins on the video.

Then Mcleod putting this sad sack on his a$$ at 1:16 with nothing but a strong slightly mistimed challenge.

Seems after this Parlour fits in at RB as Dixon couldn't handle it.

Indeed, he is contemptuous little man twerp. For once whoever his fellow commentator was, replied with just perhaps he just likes Everton, then silence and moved on...

Mani di pastafrolla

How did you know that I speak a bit of Italian? I do, though it is rusty thesedays

If it wasn’t for 3 horror penalties he’d have been the hero of a Europran Championship wining team.

Spot on. Correct.

An interesting vignette - who’s the sauce, an ex-player or A.N. Random?

Vignette.
Word of the day.

….i presume Dixon is on social media and Evertonians are politely and courteously making their views known today.

 

[BullensRoad]

….its a fair point saying only Southall has been better. We’ve had some decent goalies and whilst I’m not a fan of ‘modern keepers’, this fella has won me over. He’s also got longevity, been very good over a long period of time.

I’ve seen lots from Gordon West onwards & wouldn’t argue against his standing in our top two ever. He must be close to having won most England caps whilst at Everton, good on him.

Good post Eggs. I think Nigel Martyn deserves some praise too.

 

[Gilbert..]

Watching the England game Lee Dixon just asked why no top clubs
Have come in for JP what a melt

Had to change his tune now as previously he was never good enough. He now cant sing that as he'll look a tit saying that against a keeper who's kept so many clean sheets.
Disappointed the clubs official twitter has tagged him into a tweet. Dont give the poisonous little midget any more coverage.

 

[Moomin]

To be fair I can see were Lee Dixon is coming from.

We as Everton fans look down at the likes of Southampton and why would players want to stay at that club when we come sniffing.

Pickford is a great keeper and he will probably retire with us winning no major honours.

 

[Griffin]

Funny how that’s coming from the same guy who’s always criticising him when he plays for England. Never rated Dixon much as a pundit to be honest.

He's a stupid little tit who thinks he's funny with his smart arse comments. He's a poundland Chris Sutton

I think a big point certainly with Everton fans is he's been calling pickford sh!t for years.
Suddenly he's to good for Everton lol

If I remember right, he beat that record a long time ago.

Seems pretty legit

Former Everton FC prospect Kevin McLeod on his rash early days as the next best thing at Goodison and why he wishes he’d listened to David Moyes

KEVIN McLEOD admits he didn’t always do things the easy way as a young man, and his Everton FC debut is a case in point.
