    1. Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] Dixie Dean

    3. Hi there one and all, I do not profess to be a football fan, but I do know of one story about Dixie Dean. He apparently rode a motorbike from Chester towards Hope (near Wrexham) and cut a 90 degree bend up without batting an eyelid, by all accounts he missed it completely and carried on as though nothing had happened. It could be just a tall tale, but you never know. I do, however know that he kept a pub in Chester city centre called "The Dublin Packet" which is still going today and is located on the Town Hall. http://www.chesterwiki.com/Dublin_Packet I hope that this helps Regards Denise Lawrence-Jones
