Old Everton Pictures

...not sure if that was the game where Viv Anderson scored a screamer in the Gwladys St. Always stuck in my mind that goal as great technique with the outside of his right foot into the far corner.

They had just been promoted - we underestimated them - did they go on to win the title?

...went to the same school as Ronnie, although he was a few years older than me. I distinctly remember him getting his England Schoolboy U15 cap on the school stage and going to watch him playing for the Schoolboys at Anfield.

Mine is vague just checked they certainly did win the league on promotion that season - what an archivement!

...and a couple of European Cups. A team built on blend and strategy. A great manager.

Pretty sure the Anderson goal was a league cup night match at Goodison the next season.
They were excellent for 3-4 years.
Promoted to top division
Won it
Won European cup
Won European cup again
Plus at least one league cup
IIRC

Think as someone pointed out the Anderson goal was a league Cup night match (2-3) I think the season after the pic. The pic with Dunc (1-3) was the season opener and we thought we were going to bury them. Afterwards we thought here we go again another bad season but that was underestimating that great Forest team because we had a very good season

We battered them in that league cup game,Latch put us one up early doors and we just couldn't get a second to kill them off, they scored three in what seemed a blink of the eye, we pulled another back near the end and bombarded them again all to no avail, they had a bit of an indian sign over us at that time!!

They beat most teams especially the other lot in the European cup - a certain Kenny Burns kicked them a bitlol

Bernie the Bolt - The Catt made a few bad signings but he was no 1 bad signing { using some of the fee off Bally too}
That made it worse - this guy in the days of tight shorts looked like we never had a kit to fit him - I remember an away game v Leicester at the old Filbert street - the comedy alone was worth the trip , and gate money - to say he was a bustler was an understatement he was huge his undersized kit did not helplol
Evidently the Catt was scared of him, the alleged story goes Chairman John Moores gave all the first team players a hamper with a bottle of scotch - the next day Bernie after consuming the whisky came in the next day still sloshed realising he was not on top pay he decided he wanted a showdown with the Catt over his low pay demanding a pay raise - Labby warned the Catt he was on his way up in an unfit state angry - The Catt hid in his office wardrobe, and told him to get rid - after a tussle Labby, and a few of the team threw him on the back of the outgoing groundsmans wagon, and the Catt sacked him that evening he went back to play for Walsall which was about his level with the blues losing money on the transfer - lol

Was there any truth in the story that he turned up to sign wearing a donkey jacket with the sporting life stuffed in his pocket?
They were supposed to have taken him to Burtons at the bottom of the road to smarten him up for the signing.
