News of Ex Players

[Dario Terracotta]

Very sad news.

So very sad to hear this, a true hero and warrior for this club, certainly for me anyway no bigger Evertonian has worn the shirt, thoughts with Big Mick and his family.

Sad this.
Was only talking about him going up front and playing as a striker as a ‘plan b’ with me dad the other night.

 

[stretford blue]

One of the favourite sons of Goodison folklore. A true legend in the eyes of those lucky enough to have seen him play.
Met him once, along with Terry (RIP) and they were like the Morecombe and Wise of their era.
Best wishes to Mick, and as the battler we all witnessed who refused to accept second best, I am certain he will battle this terrible ailment.

Good luck Mick, and I am sure the love of your family will be of great comfort.

Mick along with latchford were my absolute hero's growing up supporting us really sad news

Always,if we needed a goal,ten/fifteen minutes from the end,Mick would get thrown up front to cause some chaos!!

If any of the younger blues want to see the true definition. Of the words 'warrior' and 'legend' they could do much worse than watch a couple of games from the 70's, in which Mick played. What a committed player he was. Hard as nails, brave as a lion, a very good central defender and a decent centre forward, when called upon. A top blue, Everton through and through.

I'm so sad to hear this news, one of my all time favourites, he deserved to have played in a more successful Everton team.

Too true, wasn't Geoff Astle the first of the widely publicised cases? I still remember that goal in 1968, I forgive him for it though. He was a good centre forward back in the day.

The very first name of a footballer i recall as I drifted into football as a youth. A miserable condition. Need to find a cure. If only Sky threw money at science as it does football.

Yes, his daughter has fought tirelessly for 20 years to get the FA to study and look into Dementia in football. Fortunately they now moving forward with it.
