When I was a little lad I had four teddies, one called Joe, one Alan, one Brian and one Colin.
I like to look at players ,build and stature ,if you look at Dixie,his neck is nearly the touching his ears.His chest is enormous ,and he looks ready for business,when i played centre half i know which one i would like to mark.Robert ‘Bunny’ Bell. He scored 9 goals in a match for Tranmere Rovers and later served as a back-up to Dixie Dean and Tommy Lawton at Everton - bottom photo was Bunny signing for cover in 1936 he never reached Dixies heights, but did very well at Tranmere Rovers - he could not just get a break with the Blues .....A great Character & is in the Tranmere Rovers Hall of fame -

He had a record of scoring on his debuts - we should never have exchanged him for a bum in Rod Bellfitt & cash to Ipswich a disastrous transfer - the Catt had lost the plot .....My first game and goal that I saw with my own eyes!!!
