Jimmy Husband RiP

[Eggs]

The club has announced the passing of Jimmy Husband aged 76. I distinctly remember the dashing no10 playing in the 1965 FA Youth Cup and he was always a favourite of mine. A fabulously talented player, some say scorer of the greatest Everton goal and I won’t be alone in remembering the Dave McKay tackle.

Thanks for the memories Jimmy, always one of ours.

So sad to just read this.
A more than reliable player when called to play in the first eleven. There were too many good players in front of him to enable him to be a first team regular staarter but when called upon never let the side down.
Was one of Cattericks Cubs in the FA Cup final in 68 but missed a sitter heading over the bar from a few yards out. I often wonder if that weighed heavy on him after that.
RIP.

I remember him especially from the 69-70 title winning season.

I think it was the season before we smashed Leicester 7-1 at home, Joe Royle got a hat-trick with all the assists probably coming from Jimmy's crosses (Jimmy scored a penalty). I was 8 years old, nearly 9, and it was one of the first matches if not the first match I went to without my Dad (went with a mate).

The number of assists he must have given to Joe Royle over time as well. Went to Luton after us and then USA.

RIP Jimmy.

Loved Jimmy as a player in my youth. Gave everything. RIP Jimmy, you made my life better for your efforts.
