Go on then, tell us more!Tim Williamson played a record of 602 appearences in goal over 22 seasons, including been in goal for the last game at Linthorpe road & the 1st at Ayresome Park but he holds 2 seperate records at AP, one an unwanted record & one, every Boro fan who was there at one particular time in the golden past wished it could have been broken

Tim Williamson played in the 1st ever international at Ayresome Park when in goal for England v Ireland, but was responsible for the Irelands goal & in some records was down as the 1st England keeper to score an OGGo on then, tell us more!
George DOES hold the record for goals in a season
Dean 60 league 0 FA cup total 60
Camsell 59 league 4 FA cup total 63
Dean took all Everton penalties Camsell took no Boro penalties
In my opinion George holds the record!
9 England games 18 England goals
9 games you ask? Teams were picked by committee. Bet there was no geographical bias then!
Ask your mates who has best goals per game record for England no one will mention the great George Camsell
Camsell did take penalties, though I dont think the regular penalty taker, think that was Billy PeaseAccording to wiki, Dixie Dean scored 3 FA Cup goals that season, so he too finished don 63 in total, just as Camsell had done a year earlier. I did read somewhere (cant remember where) that to make sure Dean beat the record set by Camsell, that toward the end of that 60 goal season Dean was credited with a couple of deflected goals that normally would have been given to someone else. I call shenanigans.
Anyway, Camsell never took pens, so I agree, he's the true record holder!
