how was it easy if it was y hasint any one else scored 60 in his days seen the ball the boots an the pitch they palyed with then an them days the defenders cud kill the forwards an get away with it so it wasint that easy
@thetoon99 , when Shankley presented an award to Dean (at Goodison) I think he said that, but to be fair to you m8, I cant even remember the source so I could be wrong.
@northeasttoffee122 i think your wrong sorry but he did say it about finney so if hes saying it about finney he would not say the same about dean as well.
imagine..... the state of the boots, ball, pitch, smaller goals and back then, you wouldnt of got a freekick even if you were two footed in the face. Would of scored even more if it wasn't for the world wars. I read in his book, he lost a testicle in a tackle and he had a metal plate in his forehead after a motorbike accident. They say he once headed the ball so hard at the goalkeeper, the keeper fell back into the goal with the ball! Legend! Cant wait for the film!
he never loss his testicle in a tackle, he lost it when another played booted him in the groan after warning Dxie he wud make sure he dusnt score again if he scores against his team.
da closest on dixie was tommy pongo of villa he got 49 still 11 goals in so its like a 9 goal cf compaired 2 a 20 goal a season cf ,jimmy greaves is the only player after da war 2 score more than 40 2 this day no 1s got more than 40
Just FYI, the 2nd highest lge. single season scoring mark was set by 'Boro & Eng. great George Camsell: 59 goals in 37 apps. w/63 scored in all competitions in the '26-'27 season. Camsell also had a HIGHLY impressive record of 18 gls. in only 9 caps for the 3 Lions. Camsell's name is one that frequently gets left out when fans are rattling off their top 5 or 10 all-time England forwards, IMHO.
Camsell didn't score 18 goals in 9 caps against 3rd Div. level opposition. He was still one of England's elite forwards IMHO, and this is coming from a Toon fan.
I was never disputing what div. it was in, that's why I posted that it was the 2nd highest LEAGUE single season mark. & Camsell is still one of the top-flight forwards to ever play in English football & for the 3 Lions.
Ali74, if it was piss easy to score back then. Why is it he was scoring twice as many goals as his rivals. Surely if it was that easy, his rivals would of been knocking them in like he was.
Ladies and gentlemen, today we are joined by a man who ranks amongst the greatest there is: Shakespeare, Rembrandt and Bach. This man is Dixie Dean. - Bill Shankly, he knew a thing or two about football.
Piss easy to score goals? Bear in mind the quality of boots, footballs, and the pitch, then add the fact that defenders allowed to kick lumps out of you.
The likes of Rooney have everything precisely tuned (training, diet, sports gear) to allow them reach their maximum potential. Dean didn't have the luxury and still he scored an unreal amount of goals.
How many goals has Rooney scored this season? 12. Dixie scored 60 league goals in one season. They aren't comparable.
the official rules were made in the 1800's you're an idiot Ali why can't you let the man have success! He's such an underated player and it's so sad that no one gives him credit! did you know he also never got booked in his career?
judge on ablity not goals rooney is better than dean was.but as someone said this era will be history one day.and people like ali74 will be talking crap about henry or how great shearer was a brusing there ablity a side.
ali, i think you should go read up on football history, this era will be history one day. dixie was and still is the greatest, nothing can take that away from him, so chill out ali and all you other guys. dixie was loved by your grandads and granmas and the queen mother. come on dixie.
How have u been, mate? Even though I already joked about it; Dean & Rooney really had 2 different roles within their respective sides. Rooney is better compared to the likes of Keegan or Bergkamp, IMO. Dean was a true #9/ centre-fwd. of his era: he's better compared to Lawton, Tommy Taylor, Lofthouse, etc., rather than Rooney.
@thetoon99 wtf how is he maths he scored say 20 or so this season and he is in his prime dixie scored 60 goals pure logic dixie is better than downsyndrome monkey
he made sense until he said 'the Wayne Rooney of his time'. Rooney?
