From wikipedia

He was then signed by Harry Catterick's Everton, after impressing in an FA Cup clash between Everton and Walsall at Goodison Park on 5 February 1972.[6] However, he only played eleven First Division games for the club, scoring two goals, before having his contract terminated for 'serious misconduct' after a training ground incident.[7] He had punched coach Stewart Imlach after he had overlooked Wright for a first team spot.[8] Though he only enjoyed an eleven-month stay with the club, he created an impression on the Everton fans, who remember him for using his head to accidentally break the toe of Sheffield United centre-back Eddie Colquhoun during an attempted diving header.[6]

Bernie Wright
The bearded forward already had a fearsome reputation before joining Vale. He had been sacked by Everton for a training ground punch-up. Earlier in his career he somehow managed to head the foot of an opponent and break their toe. Bruised and unbowed Bernie played on. He joined Vale in the late seventies and a hat-trick against Crewe (current team take note) endeared him to the Vale crowd and he rapidly became a cult hero as much for his intimidating presence as for his goalscoring prowess
