Wouold he do what Messi does now? No. But then again would Messi do what he did then? No again. He was the best at what he did when he did it. An all time great.
why werent you at hillsborough with the rest of your murdering friends, i know my comment is offensive but when youve got fuckers like you saying stuff like then i will gladly sing it from the streets
Outstanding player for his time, a goal scoring record that is impressive even today. Would he be able to this today? of course not but you still have to give people their dues.
Dixie dean , what an incredible player !! 100 goals in a season including 60 league goals... no-one has beaten that record to this day , i also doubt they ever will.
Love this man and proud to be the producer of The Dixie Dean Story! next show is 19th November at Kirkby Suite, tickets online from Arts2u Ltd. Hopefully see you lot there. I can never get enough of this clip - FAB!!
In 1927-28 season when he scored 60, Jimmy Smith of Ayr Utd in Scotland scored 66 in the same number of games. He then signed for Liverpool the next season and played against Dean in Derby matches. Thats a record for you even if you made it up.
@Ali74 This is whipped bullshit served on toast: check stats like the ACTUAL all-time 1st Div/EPL career goal-scoring list. Jimmy Greaves, Nat Lofthouse & Alan Shearer are all in the top ten & they're all post-WWII players. Top-flight football is never "easy", regardless of the era, mate.
@Ali74 Fuck you! this football was one of the best today's football sucks there are really few good strikers nowadays as for me the 80's and 90's footbal are the best the today's football pretty much sucks
Jimmy mcGory scored 550 goals for Celtic in same era. Reason this Dean person is overlooked is due to amateurish standard of the game pre War. Slack offside rules, games finished in cricket scores, just british players in the league, game hadn't developed. For England the likes of Vivian Woodward averaged more than a goal per game.
Hungary hammered England in the 1950's which was a wake up call for England that its game was inferior and had to improve.. thats when it became credible.
Hungary didn't hammer England in the 1920s did they?
Dixie's record is over 25% better than his nearest rival. And that was achieved after Dixie scored his 60 (if it was so easy in his day why hadn't more people gotten closer ro him earlier?)
Dixie is quite simply the greatest centre forward of all time.
Don't forget that before Dixie scored 60 League goals in 1927/28, the First Division record was "only" 43 and Dixie equalled it on 25/2/28 when he scored a hat-trick against Liverpool at Anfield! After each goal, he bowed to the Kopites! Wish I'd been there.
Fernando Peyroteo, SPorting Clube de Portugal legend, 432 apperances 700 goals and its is true. look for this player and you see. Good times, Sporting 5 ManUtd 0.
Fernando Peyroteo, SPorting Clube de Portugal legend, 432 apperances 700 goals and its is true. look for this player and you see. Good times, Sporting 5 ManUtd 0.
Peyroteo goal record is awesome 331 in 187,but horses for courses he was playing in an inferior league with respect Dix played in a far superior enviroment technicaly and a worse one eviromently,i can clarify this by stating portugal 0 england 10 1947 in which a certain thomas lawton scored 4,Correla peyroteo,travacos played in this game and never got a sniff case closed,DIXIE greatest in history
stan collymore ??hahahahaha.He is fuck all compard to good arl dixie , that is an insult as far as am concernd. DIXIE WAS A LIVING LEGEND AND STILL IS!
omfg all ure over redshite fans all keep saying too me ure an embarresment to the club ali-the-paki- go back somewere were u came from like norway ----
haha who else loves the comentry? it's so legendary! "They're attacking, thrilling football, a crowd wild with excitement, they're through and it's a goal!"
yes but goalscoring aside shearer was a better player i have read comments from people whos granddads or fathers saw dean play they say shearer was better as was big john charles.
chewitt you retard how educated you are ,what a comment you bum nut must took you all night to think that comment up , dont forget to get your mini bus every mornin now iq of a fieldmouse
chewitt i dont think dixie lives but he will live always for us empty head like i said you just proved me right braindead now go and watch the magic roundabout or the hoobs genius
dixies goalratio was great at his best at everton he scored 395 goals in 447 games shearer at his best scored 130 in 171 games for blackburn both great goal scoring ratios and both legends.
so does it make dixie a better player than shearer and if you look at there goal average a season over there careers there is not much diffrence in goals a season ratio apart from one great seaso infront of goal for dixie both legends.
dixie better goalscorer than best but not a better player.peopeo are blind when it comes to goalscorers it is one skill like passing.could dean pass,cross,tackle,ball control,pace,dribbling could he do they things better than best no which makes best a better player,in your eyes is kris boyd better than george best was.
ok so kris boyd at rangers is he a better player than rooney.yes boyd id a great goalscorer but that does not make a great player does it.great ablity does not just putting the ball in the net.dixie from what i have heard was great shankly praised him highly.
rooney is like a midfielder creates goals but dont think dixie was like rush or lineker and heading was his art and he was only 510ins and in the 60 season 40 were headers
yes dean wasa good player but i have heard comments from people who saw him not talking about him but they watched football from his era and have said shearer is the best english striker ever.
how come shearer only scored 30 odd league goals in a season only a newcastle fan wood say that yes shearer was a good player not in the same league as dixie, matthews,lofthouse
well a guy on youtube who is 66 sas duncan edwards is the best he ever saw and alan shearer the best british striker he ever saw.if lofthouse was better than shearer it would be goalscoring not ablity.
the toon, shearer good yes ,but no better than lineker,a guy of 66 would of been to young to of seen dixie in action, and if it wasnt for the war tommy lawton was well up there to,if your talking since 1970 say, and british, hate to admit it but kenny doglish id have in my team before shearer,he was no better than ian rush very good but no dixie dean, jimmy greaves ,dennis law ,probably missed loads out ,dixie played in the days were it was ok to kick the centre forward into middle next week
also toon shearer got 283 goals in 559 league games,pus 30 in 63 games for england,dalglish got 339 goals in 559 league matches,plus 30 goals for scotland,jimmy greaves got 366 in 530 games plus 44 in 80 games for england,making jimmy greaves better than shearer,latchford got 231 in 546 games and john aldrige got 362 goals in 672 ,linerker 244 in 466 plus 48 for england, so shearer although good was no better than quite a few others
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
shearer was better than player like greaves,aldringe and even king kenny does there kenny and jimmy having better goal to game record make them better goalscorers than shearer when you think of the players around them in there time.plus think of shearers injuries and were kenny and jimmy as great a scorer in there 30s as shearer all legends but.
shankly called everton the peoples club you muppet, shankly died an evertonian, he fell out with liverpool cos of the structure of the club and they never had any fans..... research your history before. shankly had his heart attack watching everton at goodison park. even though he is responsible for the success of liverpool fc, he seen sense before his eventual death.
