WR Dean a century on (nearly)

[chrismpw]

2027-2028 season will mark a century since the greatest goalscorer of all time set his unmatched record.

I'd hope our overlords will see fit to make an enormous global deal of this thing, for the promotion, benefit and visibility of the club. If not ... down to us somehow.

They should invite him back for the season

Wouldn't be able to get away with all that goal hanging these days.

Philistine!

Dean was a hard act to follow.
My Daddy was there to see it,he reminded me often enough. For him after that football was all downhill from then on. He took umbrage at the money Moores put in the team and said we were buying the league. Lucky he didn't live to see City and Chelsea. Remember the last time I asked if he was coming to the match. He said if they were playing in the back yard he'd draw the curtains.

I genuinely do wonder if Everton had more success over the last 30 years, would fans care so much about a player who scored a lot of goals 100 years!! Ago

 

[Neiler]

100 years ago, believe they even had right backs - back then.

Fair Play Dixie.

 

[RomanReigns]

should build a new statute of him at the new stadium.....

An underdog story and a return from a life threatening injury , you bet we would .

 

[davek]

Good that.

Defo Everton's first black player.

"kicking rats up against a wall"

Lol.

60 league goals in one season plus 18 goals in 14 games for his country yes it was different rules on offside for him & every striker back then eg it was a level football pitch for every CF ,,
My grandfather & a great Uncle watched him - a complete athlete of his era note when he played for England most times it was 3 pm when Everton kicked off he would miss our games...

Where we a one man team - well yes two seasons later a bad injury to Dean & we were relegated- he came back promoted instantly with him in the side plus a FA Cup win - many clubs tried to get him Arsenal in particular - but Dean refused to leave us - he even trained up his successor as injuries on his ankles too their toll - he also predicted when he left in the future one certain Directot
would ruin our great club he was spot on with that too after the war we were relegated again as star players left our club over that leadership....

No Prem experience

My grandad and dad watched him play. Dad would never have it that there was anything like Dixie. The only 'modern' player he ever gave credit to was Bobby Collins.
