Great video that. Thank you for posting it, made up to see that footage. A genius and a gentleman. A crying shame there isn't more moving images of him available. All Evertonians , and genuine football fans, should get hold of John Keith's book and audio cassettes on Dixie. Unfortunately, his star was fading by the time was broke out, so I don't think that greatly diminished his career. I had the pleasure of meeting his daughter - an absolute gem. I'm sure he was suitably proud of her.

Absolute legend. Wish i had the chance to see this man play!

an inspiration to the beautiful game

Dixie Deans record not been beaten yet he is an Everton Legend and a Star 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reminds of Gangs of New York ending! lol...But this if anything describes what it means to "know your history" as we say, every toffee fan should know this legends story! NIL SANTIS NISI OPTIMUM

@thetoon99: T.G. Jones was definitely a class centre-half for both Everton & Wales IMO.

It's not that the War finished his career - more that it seemed to divide football history. Post war is often seen as better than Dixie's era (in the same way that the Premiership is seen as better than the 60's, 70's and 80's) but the truth of it is that great footballers are timeless.

Its true....if it wasnt for the war..Dixie would be up there with Pele..Hes my No.1 all time Evertonian....

I agree with what you say. I think part of that was the relative paucity and poor quality of film footage in the media at the time. It's maybe difficult for the modern day fan to truly appreciate former players if there's not that much film footage of them to view. But the records speak for themselves.........

Check out the extended trailer!!!

The greatest centre forwad ever to play the game. End of.... It's a disgrace the way he is over-looked. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum...
