Dixie McNeil missed the remainder of the season through injury as Wrexham cruised to promotion but with 13 league goals in 23 appearances he had done more than his share in securing the title. A last-minute leveller at home to minnows Blyth Spartans meant another trip up north and back to St James’ Park where he scored in a 2-1 win. The supporters have come back in droves to watch the games; the players are doing a brilliant job on the pitch and the manager is thriving. We assist them in setting their prints free for future generations to access and appreciate them and their historical value.

Wrexham’s memorable title-winning 1977/78 season included a fabulous FA Cup adventure to the quarter-finals in a remarkable run that was dominated by replays and McNeil’s scoring exploits. Still a well known figure in the Wrexham area and with a brick bearing his name in the rebuilt stadium Dixie McNeil certainly qualifies as a club legend. They would only surrender this position for a brief spell just after Christmas and only then because their fantastic cup runs left them with a batch of fixtures to make up. 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. John told Wrexham I was on 50 per cent more than I was actually getting at Hereford so money-wise, I did pretty well out of the move!This disclaimer informs readers that the views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in the text belong solely to the author.

He knew when to shoot and when to use his head, or when to use some other part of his body if the need arose.

Being top goal scorer in the whole of the football league two seasons running is a fabulous thing; I still don’t know if anyone else has done it? McNeil is very much Mr Wrexham, and the present stability of the club, now in community ownership after a period of great uncertainty, and ably guided by player-manager Andy Morrell, who has continued the current success on the field of the previous manager Dean Saunders, gives McNeil enormous pleasure and real hope that Wales’s oldest league club can once again regain its rightful status.McNeil became Wrexham manager in 1985 winning the Welsh Cup and progressing to the European Cup Winners' Cup in his first season.

They had Bobby Charlton, David Herd, Besty and a lot more and they had won the European Cup (what is now the Champions League) two seasons before. They’d locked up the outside of the ground because it was full, and it was a tremendous place to play and thankfully we got the right result.SEE the BACKSIDE OF the PHOTO - many times the image for sale will present stamps, dates, and other publication details - these marks attest to and increase the value of the press photos.
