Dixie Dean was the most prolific goalscorer in English football’s history, an Everton centre-forward whose feats have never been matched. In the 1927-28 season he scored sixty league goals, a record that still stands and is widely considered unbreakable.
Brave and magnificent in the air, he was a phenomenon of the interwar game, leading Everton to league titles and an FA Cup. An England international, he remains a towering figure in the club’s history and a byword for goalscoring greatness.
