Duncan McKenzie

[AsiaAsia82]

Excuse my ignorance has something happened to him?

 

[Bluebonic]

Mac'n'Tosh.

Bloody hell Dav, that’s rolling the years back mate

 

[Toffeelover]

Met him way back, we were both in the waiting room of a doctor on Rodney Street. Had a very nice chat, good and likeable bloke.

I cannot agree with that.

Duncan was an integral part of the very entertaining 1977/78 side, Gordon’s first full season, which was involved in the title race all season.

He made 28 starts and scored 9 goals.

Gordon’s team was never as good after Mac was sold at the end of that campaign.



We all agreeeeee.......Duncan McKenzie is magic.....

Fair point. I thought McKenzie went in the autumn of 77, not 78. I remember on his return with Chelsea he scored a cracking goal and got a huge cheer, but Martin Dobbo won us the game, my bad!

I know.

 

[McMagicT]

Can't really comment on this fella.

 

[malfosse]

Loved him as a player and had the pleasure of meeting him a few times since.
Absolute gentleman.

All together now, you too @Eggs
We all agree Duncan McKenzie is magic.

That was some side, that 77/78 one....as you say one of the best we have seen.

Undoubtedly the best outside actual Everton title winning sides IMO.

We might have won the league that year had we not caught a Tartar at home to a newly promoted team on the first day.

Cloughie’s nascent English and European champions......

Gordon then sold Duncan and bought Blackpool Mickey Walsh

'I was making more money from jumping over cars than I was playing football!': Duncan McKenzie on throwing golf balls, hurdling Minis and NOT playing for England

• Duncan McKenzie will go down as one of football's great entertainers
• The former Everton man played in the age of maverick versus hatchet man
• Despite making many England squads, McKenzie never came on for his first cap
• McKenzie says he earned more money from betting he could leap over cars

 

[LEONARD]

Didn't we buy Micky Walsh from Blackpool as his replacement?

I'm sure we got the sensational Geff Nulty at the same time.

Halcyon days indeed.

Poor Nulty, in all my time supporting the Toffee's, I have never witnessed so much hatred for one player.

He was bang average, but didn't deserve the the vitreol eminating from the terrraces.

Gordon loved Geoff

Glen Keeley came close in a 20 min career

Rumour has it that Shilton was ours until Clough threw him a bung. He would've made the difference. George Wood could be both brilliant and awful.
