On this day 1st of march 1980 Dixie Dean passed away at Goodison during the derby match v Liverpool. one of my prized possessions is Dixie's autograph on the match day program. Given what a great goal scorer he was, boy would he struggle to score in this team today.

{Ed0333's Note - True legend. I’d keep that program Kirby it’s value in sentiment is priceless.

I was fortunate enough to receive a player of the year award off the great man. Only tips he gave me was to bully defenders and use your neck muscles when heading the ball. Lovely bloke.
