There are few football clubs who have revered centre-forwards throughout the ages as much as Everton.
Dixie Dean will forever be the benchmark by which all are measured, with no-one else for the Toffees or any other team nearly a century later coming close to his astounding feat of 60 (SIXTY) league goals in 1927/28. Lawton, Royle, Latchford, Sharp, Ferguson... the names roll off the tongue for Blues who know their history.
Another forever immortalised in the Goodison pantheon of greatness is a man whose bravery and goalscoring exploits provided a ray of hope during one of Everton’s least distinguished periods and whose legacy managed to survive intact despite making the move across Stanley Park to the Blues’ eternal rivals Liverpool that was as unthinkable in the late 1950s as it is now.
