day scored his 353rd goal in the Football League. He headed one of the goals by which Everton defeated Sheffield Wednesday.

He thus broke the record aggregate of 352 goals scored by Stephen Bloomer, which had stood unchallenged since 1914.

Bloomer's goals were scored during a period of 22 years, 1892. 1914; Dean scored his goals in 13 years, 1923-1936.
