Our Dixie ?

[Nyhus]

Honestly, dont care at all. That record is so old, its incomperable to the current state of football. Theres a decent chance Dixie wouldnt get a game in the modern era.

 

[Nymzee]

Won’t happen ever.

He’s scored 8 more league goals than the entire Everton team so far this season.

Scary ?

Can only congratulate the lad if he does. Records are there to be broken. Whatever total he ends up on, he's a phenomenal talent and a pleasure to watch.

That in the modern game any player can be spoken of as being a realistic challenger to a record that’s stood for nearly 100 years is a huge credit to him and a recognition of his extraordinary talent . I was massively irritated by the manufactured records like Messi’s “most goals in a calendar year “ but Haaland is showing that when it comes to goalscoring he’s a very special talent .

That said I don’t think he will and I certainly hope it remains unbroken .

Dean was just a goal hanger.

Dean was just a goal hanger.

Quite legal back then though, just like shoulder charging the keeper was too.

 

[Harryflashman]

I honestly think only Evertonians could have probably the greatest goal scorer in the history of the game in their record books, the possessor of a feat that’s stood for nearly 100 years and cheerfully dismiss him as crap .

Every sportsman is a product of his time and can only excel in that era , William Ralph Dean is a true great of the game . If Evertonians don’t appreciate that then other blues can’t really be moaning when the record doesn’t get a mention on sky .

If you know your history and all that .

He missed 5–6 games playing for his country that season an England played on a Saturday at 3pm on matchday he still got the record plus we won the league too ....

No. Neither would Puskas, Di Stefano, Billy Liddle, Tommy Lawton. I could go on all night.

Not worth mentioning those 80’s teams either really to be honest

Yes, the game has changed, but he broke the goal record when other comparable CF's did not - with the same rules & conditions plus he got £3.00 per game with England he got the same but with travel expenses - he was hauled in over the expenses as all his receipts were one old penny out - he gave them a mouthful claiming they did not give receipts to go for a pee..... they were refusing to pay his travel expenses & food etc over this issue .....

Dixie would score 80 in that team!
