Keith Dixon was raised within sight of St Andrew's in Holmwood Road, Small Heath, and has been a Blues fanatic since 1954. When managing director of TRITON Showers he persuaded the board to commit GBP 100,000 over three years to be the club's main sponsor from 1993-96, and still gets the blame for that awful 'raindrop' shirt even though it was conceived by the chairman at the time. He founded the Bluenose Club in 2004 and has organised a number of themed charity nights featuring ex-Blues players to raise money for Promise Dreams and DEBRA. In 2006 he self-published 'THE BLUES - Great Games - Great Teams - Great Players' in celebration of the centenary of the opening of St Andrew's. Until recently he was a guest writer for The Blues Magazine providing a monthly article entitled 'My Time at The Blues' where he tracked down ex-Blues players to talk about their careers at St Andrew's. cle entitled 'My Time at The Blues' where he tracked down ex-Blues players to talk about their careers at St Andrew's.
