One source says January 27, 1907...?
"Dixie was a real legend of the game. His dribbling, running, shooting and ability to create goals for others were exceptional." The above paragrapgh seems a little too enthusiastic, sounds like one written by a biased fan. Could be improved. Avman M 22:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I've added the following to the text: "However the Tranmere Rovers historian Gilbert Upton uncovered evidence that it is a corruption of his childhood knickname, Digsy - a name aquired from his apporach to the children's game of tag, where Dean would dig his fist into the girl's back, hence 'Digsy'".
I have no clue as to add a reference. In the hope that someone better versed than I in the ways of wiki can add references, the information is from 'Dixie Dean of Tranmere Rovers 1923-1925 by Gilbert Upton, ISBN 0 9518648 1 5.
the book also shows testimonies from Dean's neighbours and contempories that the Dixie tag came much later and was not a name that Dean at all liked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.14.25.41 ( talk) 14:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

His statistics for the 1927-28 season are incorrect - it indicates 60 league appearances and 10 league goals even though his total goals total 67. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.188.147.178 ( talk) 16:51, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
