Here’s a run down of Dixie’s remarkable 92-goal campaign – from start to finish - with the goals numbered, and his league goals in parantheses. Second in the top division’s leading scorer table that campaign was Burnley’s George Beel – with 35. What is clear is that, like Haaland in his remarkable debut campaign in English football, Dixie was streets ahead of his goalscoring rivals in his greatest ever season. Nick Walsh’s seminal biography claims 100, but generously includes continental fixtures played at the end of the 1926/27 campaign and a Blackpool Hospital Cup match played on rather than in the 1927/28 campaign itself.Īnalysis of contemporary reports throughout that incredible campaign, however, suggests Dixie still scored 92 goals in all competitions in 1927/28 - an astonishing figure.

Haaland’s current total of 51 includes 12 goals scored in the Champions League and one in the League Cup – competitions which didn’t exist when Dixie was tearing up the record books. It is also incontestable that he added three more in two FA Cup ties, to give the ‘63 goals in all competitions’ mark which many media outlets have Manchester City marksman Erling Haaland currently chasing down. The Associated Press contributed to this report.What is indisputable is that Bill ‘Dixie’ Dean scored 60 league goals in 1927/28 – an English scoring record. Sunday.Ībout a year ago, Ever Forward’s sister ship, Ever Given, got stuck in the Suez Canal for around a week.
