Dixie Dean!

Surely every football fan has heard of him? I would urge everyone to look at his life story in his early years, the donation of a transfer fee to charity and him scoring a record in the top division that has never been beaten. 399 goals in 399 appearances for Everton. And of course played for England.

This should be a role model for any academy graduate. And you know folks, there are many footballers from those days that would shame most today with their prima donna attitudes and greed. - view external link

Football has moved on from those days its a totally different game governed by money, agents and TV.

Your cannot compare era's as times have moved on and we should be more concerned what is happening at Gresty Road anyway!

Maybe it's time to move on again then.
