Old Everton Pictures

I remember that game too. A big letdown as all semi-final losses are.

That said I always felt that City had the measure of EFC. Especially in the air. Everytime there was a set-piece I thought they would do us. We produced little threat that day.

Maybe the losses against WBA in the final and Paranithikos were more damaging because we were favourites and the better team but could not pull it off.

Done over by one of our own. Tactical genius. Well done Uncle Joe! I loved watching his City teams. Thought Colin Bell was awesome.
I wonder what would have happened to us if Joe Mercer had re joined us as manager after Harry Catterick retired?

...think he kept budgies. Might actually have ended up at the canaries but not sure on that.

.....think it was against Altrincam in the cup where bloke broke John Connolly's leg and Gary Jones knocked the lad out. Connolly's and the Alty lad carried off on a stretcher and Jones sent off.

He works for Crystal Palace as GK coach. He got me tickets the other week at Selhurst when Everton played there

Spot on v Altrincham in the F A cup at. Home I was stood on the paddock right by the horrific tackle you could hear the break of his leg - he was never the same player for us after that injury - A very classy fast winger for us - we managed a1-1 draw that day nearly went out, and their goal was yards offside!
They were clapped on the field with a generous Goodison reception- booed off for their kick up in the air tactics - we won the replay at old Trafford!

Football, 18th August 1963, England, Everton players read their 1962/1963 Championship brochure at Goodison Park, Players include Dennis Stevens, Alex Young, Jimmy Gabriel, Gordon West & Tony Kay

I don't think Dennis Stevens is on this photo. I think they are Parker, Young, Scott,Gabriel,Harris,West and Tony Kay.
