When George Camsell scored an amazing 59 Football League goals for Middlesbrough during the 1926-27 campaign, he must have believed that his record would last for decades.

However, his stint in the record books would be over after just one season.

William Ralph Dean - better known by his nickname of Dixie - helped fire Everton to the 1927-28 title, but with two matches left to play, he was some seven goals short of toppling Camsell.

Even matching the Boro frontman looked to be an impossible feat, but in the penultimate game of the season, Dean scored four goals in a 5-3 win away at Burnley.

It meant that when Arsenal visited Goodison Park on the final day of the campaign, Dean required a hat-trick to take him to the 60-goal mark.

The visiting Gunners broke the deadlock on Merseyside in the second minute, but just 60 seconds later, Dean had drawn his side level.

Then, only four minutes later, Dean was fouled inside the area, before he dusted himself down to convert the resultant penalty from 12 yards out.

It was a goal that saw Dean equal Camsell's exploits and he now had 84 minutes to put himself out in front.

It appeared for a long while that it was not meant to be, but with just eight minutes remaining, the forward rose highest to head home Alec Troup's corner.

The goal secured a 3-3 draw for the champions and also took him above Camsell - a record that still stands to this day.

It rounded off a prolific season for Dean, who in all competitions found the net on 82 occasions.
