FOR THE BOYS IN THE ROYAL BLUE JERSEY DONATION

[Eggs]

…..Steve aka @alan ball, I particularly enjoyed Joe Royle’s account but I have to correct him on one point;

Joe says to this day he’s the “only lad from a High School to play for Liverpool Schoolboys”. Sorry, Joe but you’re wrong as I can name 3. Ronnie Goodlass (went to Everton), Mick Parle (went to Everton) & @Eggs (went to Liverpool) were High School students. Indeed, Ronnie played for England Schoolboys whilst @Eggs scored more goals for Liverpool Schoolboys than Joe Royle.

I was always proud of my 25 goals in 19 competition games until I read Gerry Glover”s story where he got 67 in 20. That is truly amazing. Love how many Everton players came through Liverpool Schoolboys, such a shame that route is diluted these days with Acadamies.

….ha, ha, I’m very modest about my old footy days, Kev. I rarely mention the absolute screamers I scored at Old Trafford & Elland Rd

TBH I would be shouting from the rooftops. Highlight of my footballing 'career' was getting sent off 5 minutes into a friendly when playing for a local factory team lol

Same here. Scored 2 cracking goals playing for Bristol Crusaders at Canford Park, years ago. I imagine I am the only person on the planet that remembers them! And the only one on here who has a clue who that team are, and where the ground is! Both are still going mind.
