The FA Cup continued to offer highlights and Dixie scared several more first division defences before he was through.McNeil is very much Mr Wrexham, and the present stability of the club, now in community ownership after a period of great uncertainty, and ably guided by player-manager Andy Morrell, who has continued the current success on the field of the previous manager Dean Saunders, gives McNeil enormous pleasure and real hope that Wales’s oldest league club can once again regain its rightful status. Dixie McNeil had to sit out the clubs excellent march to the 5th round of the League Cup and eventual defeat by Liverpool as he was cup tied after playing in the competition for Hereford.

In 1985, with his squad decimated by injury, McNeil made a brief appearance as a substitute at Notts County in an FA Cup replay.

Other Cups: Play-Offs, League Cup, Associate Members' Cup, Football League Trophy, FA Trophy, European Cup Winners' Cup, Debenhams Cup and Football League Division 3 (North) Cup. Wrexham managed four seasons in the second division and, after a slow start, McNeil proved again that he could score goals at that level, even well into his mid 30’s. The following season as Hereford made off with the third division championship he rattled in 35 goals in 41 appearances.

He retired from professional football in 1983 but played on in the Welsh National League with Chirk AAA, and also made an appearance in the FA Cup in 1985, at the age of 38. Dixie was more interested in quantity than quality throughout his career and he plied his trade with the single minded focus that all great goalscorers possess. Dixie McNeil played for Exeter City relatively early in his 521-game, 239 goal Football League career. In 1966 Leicester allowed the nineteen year old McNeil to leave on a free transfer and he moved to Exeter City in the fourth division.
