Liverpool Football Derby

Everton take on Liverpool at Goodison Park - and could that be the Toffees' legendary Dixie Dean enjoying a kickabout before the game?

Non-Fiction 1928 1 mins Silent

Overview

Intriguing scenes on Merseyside in 1928. These newsreel cuts are believed to have been shot at the Liverpool-Everton match at Goodison on 29 September 1928. The brief segments of the match are out of sequence, but include some close shots of the players. The most curious fragment is the footage of the men having a kickabout, apparently in cricket nets, with a crowd of fans looking on. Could these be Everton players? And could that be the legendary Dixie Dean among them?

Birkenhead-born centre forward William 'Dixie' Dean (1907-1980) played for Everton from 1925 until 1938. In the 1927-28 season he scored a phenomenal 60 league goals in 39 appearances for the club - setting a record still unbeaten in the English league.
