Gordon Lee bought Sharpy and the Rat, so for that alone he deserves our love and y much a nearly team, just missing the one final,piece and it could have been successful! Will,alway remember those years primarily for Bob and Dave Thomas! Anyone who saw and admired the Baines / Pienaar partnership and their almost telepathic understanding of wheer each other were, believe me, it was NOTHING compared to the understanding Davey Thomas and the Latch had, ridiculously good pairing!
Latchford remains my favourite Everton centre forward and i have only ever seen two Everton wingers to beat Davey Thomas, and that was Johnny Morrissey and Andrei Kanchelskis, which in itself shows how good Davey was! Gordon is often described as a dour manager (mostly because he got shut of Duncan McKenzie) but i remember them playing some lovely football, going forward!
