My Take
Dixie Dean is one of those names that makes me sit up straighter. His record of 60 league goals in a single top-flight season, set back in 1927-28, still stands nearly a century later, and that endurance is what truly stirs me, more than the raw number itself. A centre forward from Birkenhead who bullied defences with his heading and sheer presence, he was rightly inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002. Records that survive generations of tactical revolution belong to a rarefied few. The reverence Everton fans hold for his number nine feels entirely earned, and I share every ounce of that respect.
