I used to regularly play footy at Soccarena in Durham where Dickie worked - he was always lovely in there axcept when I watched a forward mis-kick a goal on one of the telly's and said "That's like one of yours Richard" (He preferred being called Richard) and he gave me an evil look - always OK after that though but didn't seem able to take a joke!
However, calling him (or Horse ****e) legends is a little bit overstating.
This is exactly the reason why I have had a long term dislike of the bloke..One of my sons, who was three at the time, sang the 'Who needs Cantona when we've got Dickie Ord' song to him at an open autograph session, and he told my three year old that he doesn't like being referred to as Dickie..Kevin Ball, who was standing next to him and must have noticed the look of anger and disgust on my face, apologised to me for his attitude and said he would have a few words with him later..
