ATHERS: "I think I won man of the match, and we used to get big jeroboam of champagne in those days, so I got Donald to sign that and I signed my glove. I'm sure he's got it somewhere and I've got the bottle somewhere."
DONALD: "Michael came to the dressing room actually, brought some beers with him, and gave me his right glove - with a big fat red mark on it!"
KERRY DIXON (ENG) 🏴
Chelsea / FWD
Born: Luton, 24.7.61
Caps: 8 (85-86) Goals: 4
Career: 1980-97 – Reading, Chelsea, Southampton, Luton, Millwall, Watford, Doncaster
Mexico record: P0(1)
After finishing as the First Division’s joint top scorer alongside Gary Lineker in 84/85, the Chelsea striker impressed with four goals on England’s North American tour in 1985.
However, a serious stomach muscle injury sustained in January 1986 hampered his preparations for Mexico and he played just four minutes at the World Cup.
Dixon collected just one further cap, yet his club scoring exploits continued and he remains Chelsea’s third-highest goalscorer.
He was sentenced to prison for assault in 2015. Dixon later worked as a plumber and maintains a close association with Chelsea. Dixon turns 65 today.

Colour films are incredibly rare in the 1920s, which makes this 26-part travelogue of the UK truly exceptional. Filmed in colour in 1924 by Claude Friese-Greene using his father's own bespoke colour film process, it utilised an ingenious camera with red and green spinning filters. The full colour travelogue runs for 180 minutes.
The pioneering film tours the UK just 5 years after the end of WWI. In this preview, it visits Aberdeen, Liverpool, Cardiff, Stirling and London amongst others.
I've edited this little trailer for you using the jaunty title music from the 'Jeeves & Wooster' TV series. A section of the travelogue (running 64 minutes) is available on a DVD entitled "The Open Road", restored by the BFI.
(Claude Friese-Greene's famous grandson is the English musician, songwriter, and record producer Tim Friese-Greene, best known the new-wave/synth-pop band Talk Talk)
Player of the day: Marco Gabbiadini.
Here he is scoring a cracking volley for @SunderlandAFC vs. Chelsea in 1990 at Stamford Bridge.
No chance for Dave Beasant in the Chelsea goal.
