I didn't realise we were part inspiration for Bournemouth's badge (according to The Guardian anyway):

AFC Bournemouth: “I was surprised to discover that the face on Bournemouth’s badge is actually that of Dickie Dowsett, who played for the club between 1957 & 1962,” writes Pete Tomlin. “In his five seasons at Bournemouth he finished top scorer three times and apparently scored a brilliant diving header against Aston Villa which is the inspiration for the badge.”
