Old Everton Pictures

6th January 1968. Everton centre half Brian Labone proves too strong for Wolves Derek Dougan-

He had glass knees by then, another Harry bought 3 or 4 yrs too late, on the strength of one or two good games against us...usually at Forest where we hardly ever won.
Hunt, Bernard, H. Newton all very good for their own clubs, but suffered the fate of being guilty of the crime that they weren't Ball or Harvey or Kendall...but who was...a bit like Denis Stevens and Bobby Collins

What price Tommy Jackson though, he did the biz.
The question that's long haunted me - how did we go from a club that swooped for an outstanding young player like Ball to one that a) sold him prematurely and b) bought a succession of established players who couldn't hold a candle to him?
