I saw that the former Welsh international goalkeeper Dai Davies died (unintentional tongue twister) sadly the other day.
It reminded me of something that happened at Sincil Bank in the mid 70s, but I may need someone to confirm it, memory being what it is.
Dai was in goal for Swansea and dropped a routine ball in. Dixie McNeil, standing close by but facing away from the South Park goal, simply back-heeled the ball into the net.
He was the regular Everton keeper shortly after this, and I'm pretty sure his nickname was "Dai the Drop"
A little prelude of it for all who were there.
