Bill 'Dixie' Dean, Everton
The date of the fixture is uncertain, but Dean was adamant the incident took place at White Hart Lane as he left the pitch.
Nicknamed Dixie because of his swarthy complexion,after a game at Spurs, he was the last player to walk off the pitch when a fan shouted: “We’ll get you yet, you black b*****d! ”
A policeman overheard and was set to take action, but was pushed aside by Dean who remarked: “It’s alright officer, I’ll handle this.”
Dean jumped over to the fan, punched him and sent him flying.
The policeman who saw the incident winked at Dixie and said: “That was a beauty, but I never saw it officially.”-
