He came up one goal short of 60 in the league, although it did not matter for another year, at which point the considerable shadow of Dixie Dean eclipsed George Camsell to the point where, when Erling Haaland threatens the biggest hauls in English football, he barely merits a mention.
Not beyond Middlesbrough, anyhow, because there Camsell's status is secure. They unveiled a new statue in his honour at the Riverside Stadium earlier this season and his 345 Boro goals live on in the footballing folklore upon Teesside.
Camsell was an interwar goal machine. The first man to break the barrier of 50 goals in a single English season, in 1926/27.
