Blues invited to Dixie's Wall of Fame Unveiling

Evertonians are invited to be among the first to see the brand new Dixie Dean Wall of Fame unveiled at Goodison Park.

The launch event will take place on Monday 5 May, the anniversary of Dixie Dean's 60th league goal, and supporters are welcome to join special guests to catch the first glimpse of the revamped area.

Plans to unveil a new gateway to the stadium were revealed in February and the Dixie Dean statue is the centrepiece of the area. The statue, which was originally unveiled in May 2001 to celebrate the greatest goalscorer in the history of English football, will be surrounded by a commemorative wall made up of personalised engraved stones.

The ‘Goodison Granites' sold out within days of going on sale, with Evertonians snapping up the personalised stones as gifts and tokens of their passion for the Blues.
 
The new area has been a project co-ordinated by the Everton Fans' Forum with support from the Club.
 
The group of supporters, who meet monthly to discuss and input into key Club decisions, were given the opportunity to drive the project through from concept to completion.
 
Chairman of the Fans' Forum, Tony Bott, said: "We have put a lot of time and effort into this project and we're really looking forward to sharing the final showpiece with the rest of the Everton fanbase.

“Dixie's Wall of Fame was so popular when it was announced back in February with so many Evertonians quickly taking up the chance to secure their place on this piece of history that will forever leave its mark on our beloved stadium.

“Everyone on the Fans' Forum is hoping that many fans will come down on 5 May to show their support and see their engraved plaque on the Wall of Fame.”
