Mick Lyons:70 today!!!

[Dad watched Dixie]

First time at Wembley. 11 years old.

Cried my eyes out after the OT replay.

Wasn't at the finals but the tears flowed like a torrent.

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.

I was in the kop that game couldn't get a ticket for the Annfield Rd. When she ran on I thought she had a black pair of knickers on but when she turned round there was a bare bum. I don't think she had shaved for a while..

Testing my memory here but I think I saw him play his debut. We lost 3-2 at Notts Forest.

True blue Everton hero, was great as a striker or centre half, I could be wrong but I am sure that he got on the bench for the full England side.
When he was playing you knew one of us was out there.
Happy Birthday Mick

Still my favourite Goodison game that(even ahead of Bayern!!),I know you will think I am mental, but as a thirteen year old mad Evertonian in a school infested with RS,that game meant the world

It is also my greatest game
Cut a long story short having emigrated back and forth was my 1st Derby at 16 Years old , in The Street End which was humming also had a number of R/S to contend with at that time and next door neighbour who went into hiding

Wow!!!,suddenly I feel old!!,there may well have been greater players but his commitment to our cause back in the fitful days of the 1970's early 1980's was unparalleled in my humble opinion,Happy Birthday Mick!!

Fans salute Mick Lyons, an Everton legend like no other

Mick was a totally committed player , unfortunately like a number of players in the late 70,s in particular , King , Latch , Thomas , Dobson come to mind very unlucky to not win a trophy

 

[Dario Terracotta]

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

Yep,that was my first derby, a taste of things to follow, doh!!!

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

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

One of the reasons I hate Aston Villa!

and Clive Thomas and Frank Lampard Snr

My Mick Lyons highlight….the diving header through a sea of legs at the Park End v Leeds circa 1974.

And Carlisle United too.

Mick would have won a League Title medal in 1974/75 if they hadn’t beaten us home and away in their only top flight season ?

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.

I think Jimmy Case scored to make it Two-One, giving us a nervy last ten minutes or so.

I remember that game.

Imre Varadi and an O.G. (Avi Cohen?) for us, I think.
