Would think it was about 1965, he came back to the Vetch with Workington two seasons running, if my memory serves me right, I think it was 1-6 and 2-7.

Plenty of goals in those first 6 fixtures. I can remember Kit Napier scored 3 in the first match, and 4 in the second, and I was unlucky to watch those first 2. ðŸ˜
Dixie played in the first 2 matches, and in the first match down the Vetch controlled the game from the centre of midfield. Poetry in motion.
Here's a video of the Hale brothers. Dixie talks well about his time with us and how he abs loves Swansea. (11.15).
I used to see Dixie nearly every Saturday in the late 1970's and 1980's. He was a very good footballer, great company, a wonderful raconteur, but best of all a total gent.

I’m too young ever to have seen him but what a nice understated guy he came across in the interview. Even nicer was his affection for his “home from home” - Swansea. Rest In Peace Mr Hale. A proper adopted Swansea Jack.
