Dixie The People's Legend extended trailer

Although the US frequently eulogise their sporting heroes from the twenties and thirties (Ty Cobb, 'Babe' Ruth, Joe Louis), in Britain they are largely ignored and overlooked. It is hard for modern sports fans to equate their sports heroes from today with those of yesteryear, but to those in the know, the feats of Dixie Dean put him up with the world greats - Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Dean. This film will illustrate that the feats of Dixie should rate him alongside the greats of the modern game.

Just for the record, we've interviewed Finney for this film. Coming soon!

Ali74 is Ali G, stupid, ignorant and embarrassing. How can you compare a player of this generation to one who was born a century ago? It is like comparing a Sopworth Camel to a Eurofighter. If Dean was born twenty years ago he'd still be awesome in this era as much as he was in his own era.

As for that prat Ali74, I am an Evertonian and I reckon I've got more ticket stubs for Anfield than you will ever own.

Better hurry up and get your new Sky subscription for the new season you dildo.

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

Dixie Dean does not rank with football legands, He is the football legand, let me know when the likes of messi,ronaldo,rooney,nani,klos­e,snijder,suarez,carrol,in fact any1, let me know wen they score 60 GOALS in (1) SEASON, no1 is yet to beat his secound record of 54 goals its a joke how good he acctually was, liverpool fans name ur legends, none will compare with dixie dean, Thank u William Ralph Dean U are the legend

As an Everton fan watching that footage made the hair stand on the back of my neck. Actual footage of WR Dean playing and scoring for Everton....like a God among men.

[thetoon99]

the funny thing is i thiunk hes not hyped but given credit to much as ask the everton fans and others of that time dixie was not even the best everton player in his team t.g jones was.

[farenjeit]

viendo este vido, me doy cuenta de que hace unas decadas, los seres humanos eramos mas autenticos, mas naturales, no estabamos intoxicados por modas consumistas. el futbol de antaño seria mas duro seguro, pero tambien mas noble.

@tabacula who tom finney

[poetsdontknowit]

that 33 cup final was the first time numbers were worn and instead of both teams having 1 to 11 on their backs the numbers went from 1 to 22.

everton wore 1 to 11 and man city wore 12 to 22.

the number 9 shirt is synonymus with great goalscorers everywhere and that moment when dixie turns his back to the camera at 2.33 sends chills even up my spine, it`s a beautiful moment.

because he wore 9 that day everyone else has since.

the first number 9 and probably the best.

scouser and a red.

@14dollars criminals? why just cos of heysel? thats all u toffees go on about, we weren't all there that night you know, plus it was accidental, yes it brought shame on our club for a while but not all of us can be blamed. There was me gonna give respect to a great player that was dixie, but seeing your comment, you can fuck off, twat!
