DIXIE DEAN

[@tigerarmyrule]

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.

[@leeperryismerry]

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!"

[@pepe198499]

I love these old Pathe football videos, watch the Brentford 1930's one, the football is so different.

[@Mrprocragg1]

He will always be the best st in the world

[@allippincott]

[@TheMightOfTheEnglish]

dixie got 27 goals in 30 games for tranmere. 399 goals in 349 games ,everton plus 3 for notts county in 9 games 18 goals for england in 16 games thats 429 league goals in 388 games in the league total unbeatable ,alan shearer eat your heart out

[@laddiebuck12]

Just imagine the speed with which it's done. Yes, it's a trick.

[@lex13vs]

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.

[@amentveddergossard]

I always thought that he looked like a young Ronaldo, the Brazilian one.

[@mm91ie]

he was unbelievable in the air its said he once scored from a header from the halfway line, matt busby said only law and jack charlton could come within a mile of matching him in the air. he also was very fast and very strong and had two great feet, busby said he was also very unselfish and layed off many chances for team mates.

[@Mrprocragg1]

Today footballers dive when they lose the ball I know this look at drogba, Ronaldo, Suarez they all dive when they lose the ball I seen him when I was 8 he ran ragged and never dived or cheated he's the player the world wished to see again he's the best period not even with messi getting aconindation for 92 goals in a season witch is an amazing feet but when the footballs are better the pitchsare better we have replays and men outher things to help players perform but Dixie did it without

[@Guldager98]

True Legend COYB

[@fringeailments]

lol, is anyone else thinking..... harry enfield sketch.

[@dubtoffee]

Take me back to the good aul days of dixie, shearer wouldn't lace dixie's boots

[@evertonson1]

best player eer

[@ufewl]

marvellous! isn't it?

[@jaymcefc]

thats y he was called dixie as in his looks dooh

[@jaymcefc]

cos in the old days dixie was a nickname 4 some1 who looked south american

[@RoyalBlueMersey]

Ther's no need to look round Dixie, you know where that ball's gone! Best Brittish player ever, put's Best an any1 who played for Liverpool to shame!

[@thelegendfamily4836]

@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.

[@RoyalBlueMersey]

No u've misread, i was just using best as an example of a brittish player, because he's 1 of the most famous

[@jaymcefc]

any 1 2 do with the legend is a friend of mine

[@seunbeats8379]

He lived next door to my nan

[@CaptainOvious123]

why couldn't we have commentators like this? i'd happily take this one over the likes of david pleat

[@bombaiting]

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.

[@TheMightOfTheEnglish]

correction 349 goals for everton 27 tranmere and 3 notts county ,379 league goals

[@TheMightOfTheEnglish]

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

[@jaymcefc]

thats cos strikers go by their goals ,best was a midfielder

[@paultowner-dunn842]

Dixie Dean is the name of 507009

[@TheMightOfTheEnglish]

you could say gazza was a better player than shearer ,which he was , im talking about an out and out goal scorer

[@jaymcefc]

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

[@lilfeix147]

#HD

[@realot1]

@bluesubmariner1 your both muppets. Billy was a great player and a true gent. Pride of the town. Laird Street Birkenhead.

[@jaymcefc]

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

[@lukeboy123321]

yeah its like a brick

[@robin46]

That's a trick?! haha

[@FaisalLasiaf1]

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.

[@1878Originals]

He'd still do it

[@TheMightOfTheEnglish]

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

[@Ali74]

Weak era, no rules, cricket scores, porky amateurs, domestic players only.. an era rightly dismissed

[@Ali74]

Crap era... easy Over 90% of players in the highest single season goalscoring list are from pre War. Says it all.
