Bill Dean.
Massive Evertonian.
Used Dean as his stage name in homage to Dixie

He presented our medals for my team when I was a kid about 1988. Turned up a hour late a little pissed and was brilliant with us all still got the pictures to this day

Saw him at Norwich the day we won the league in 1987,remember the poor fella trying to justify himself as every Evertonian stood around him was calling him a “dirty red”

I bumped into Ed Stewart that day.

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

Funnily enough I probably saw him about half a dozen occasions over the years at Everton games,but never at Goodison!!!think he was London based!!!

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.

When I was selling cars in Liverpool I took Bill Dean and his Mrs for a test drive in a mini metro, late 80's. Miserable ald get didn't buy though.

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.
