Mick Lyons:70 today!!!

[jondel]

McDermott of Liverpool and Stanley of Everton got their marching orders for scratching each other, neither of them could punch a hole in a wet Echo!!

That was the match where the woman ran on the pitch with no knickers on . The same woman jumped off the Mersey ferry a few days later again with no knickers on. Maybe she liked to let it breathe.

He only ever made the England B team - yet the chant of Lyons for England used to ring around Happy Birthday to him a true blue - he would have run through a brick wall for us ......

Never on a winning side v the other lot in a Derby due to circumstances.......

Yeah, would have loved to have seen him win a trophy here.

One of the reasons I hate Aston Villa!

Me too, I was at all 3 finals travelling up from the south coast after the final defeat at Old Trafford I didn't get home till 7 in the morning and was in work for 8 to find out I was made redundant.

Happy birthday Mick we were so close but never quite got there

I remember him scoring a perfectly good header against the RS at Goodison only for it to disallowed. Alan Waddle shinned one in for them in the dying minutes. Nothing changes

A great evertonian

Chris nicholl and later Frank lampard sr two players that never hardly ever scored we never had much luck even back then

I look back on those times fondly now though mate we had some great players with loads of heart.
If only our board had pushed the boat out and bought Shilton they could have changed our whole history.

First time at Wembley. 11 years old.

Cried my eyes out after the OT replay.

That game was a tragedy of the highest order
Ist and last time ever to stand in the Stretford End

Went to all 3 as an 8 year old. Remember being feet away from him when he scored the equaliser at the Stretford end. In true blues style we threw it away, and I still hate Brian Little to this day ?

Was that the girl who ran to the corner flag ? Most of the crowd near me were straining there necks trying to see where she put the corner flag.

FA Cup match derby in '81: Mick stamping on Jimmy Case's legs when he was on the floor.

Should have broken them and then jumped on his face.

Can see you're already in the good will to all men Christmas spirit. God bless us, every one (except Case).

Tery D fluffed his lines. That's all it took.

Big Mick, a hero from my era, always gave 100% versatile, always a goal threat and would stick his head where the boots were flying.
As stated by others he deserved to win something while he was here.
Happy Birthday big fella, have a good one wherever you are.
