Description
Before Messi, Ronaldo, or Pele, there was Dixie Dean-the man who scored 60 league goals in a single season, a record still untouched nearly a century later. Sixty and Immortal is the definitive, deeply human biography of William Ralph "Dixie" Dean, Everton's greatest icon and one of football's most enduring legends. From his boyhood in Birkenhead to the roar of Goodison Park, from fractured skulls to international glory, this is a story of grit, greatness, and the enduring power of sport to shape memory and meaning.
Dean's career unfolded in a working-class, post-war Britain, where football was religion and its saints walked muddy fields. Through vivid storytelling, archival detail, and the voices of teammates, opponents, and admirers, this book charts the highs and lows of a man who was never just a striker-he was the soul of a city. A gentleman off the pitch and a titan on it, Dixie Dean remains the blueprint for greatness in English football.
