Having played such a key role, in numerous positions, for Marcelo Bielsa's Championship title winners, Dallas went on to prove, beyond doubt, that he belonged at the highest level.
' Then there was his none-too-gentle checking of the size of Raphinha's testicles after the Brazilian's match-winning penalty against Crystal Palace. Good craic. By his own admission this week, he enjoys a drink when appropriate.
