Old Everton Pictures

" What's our name ? "


" Everton !!!! "

The chant in the 60's inspired by the great man...

Started at Burnley in an FA cup game, the week after Ali ( as he was called) had taunted Ernir Terrell in a world title fight,
Terrell had refused to call him by his new name, called him Cassius Clay, every time Ali punched Terrell, which was often, he asked him " what's my name".

Jimmy Harris was given the mammoth task of replacing the Cannonball Kid, Dave Hickson, in his debut season at Goodison after graduating from the Club’s Academy.

The Birkenhead-born forward got his senior career off to a flier – finishing his debut season as the Blues’ top scorer with 21 goals in all competitions in 1955/56.

A single appearance for England U-23s against Scotland followed, which was marked with a goal to cap off a magnificent season.

Harris was pushed to outside-right when Hickson was re-signed from Huddersfield Town in 1957, but continued to be a regular on the scoresheet.

He was sold to Birmingham City in 1960 in a deal worth £20,000 after scoring 72 goals in 207 appearances for the Blues.

Liverpool-born goalkeeper Albert Dunlop was forced to wait six years for his first-team debut after joining the club’s youth side in 1950.

His debut, at Old Trafford, was one to remember as the Blues broke the reigning league champions’ 26-match unbeaten run with a 5-2 win.

Dunlop made regular appearances for Everton before falling down the pecking order as Gordon West took the number one jersey.

A two-year spell at Wrexham followed before a year as player-manager with Rhyl, where he controversially once selected himself to play as a forward.
V Spurs - below is this the 10-4 defeat? away?

Feet in the air- still time for Dai to drop it!

Looks like 74/5 when we won 2-0 - Mick Lyons gracing the no9 shirt.

...in the 60s his mother, Gertie, was on the committee of Everton Supporters Club in City Road, along with my Mum. I remember her well, she had a season ticket just along from me on the front row of Upper Gwladys St.

Shame he ended up being a controversial player then looking at his player manager career he carried it on there too.....

..I think he had some struggles in his personal life, Joey. Obviously a different era where players were far from financially comfortable after a career in the game. He passed away in his 50s.
