In January 1939, just months after hanging up his boots and a few
weeks into his new career as a talent scout, William Ralph 'Dixie'
Dean, the former Everton and England legend, received a surprise
request for assistance from the far west of Ireland. Could he find
a goalscorer for Sligo Rovers - the beating heart of a small,
provincial town - to drive their dreams of a lucrative cup run and
help protect the club's very existence? Dean set about finding the
right man, but unable to locate candidates willing to make the move
across the Irish Sea, he had an idea. What if he were to answer
Sligo's call? And so began the unlikely story of how one of the
greatest centre-forwards ever to grace the game added an unexpected
and ultimately uplifting chapter to his storied football career. In
the Shadow of Benbulben is a romantic tale of divine intervention,
uncanny timing and drama on and off the pitch. It's the tale of
'Dixie' Dean's four months with the Bit O'Red that was to leave an
indelible mark on the player, the club and the town.
