I always thought Graeme Sharp was reminiscent of Gilzean - deft headers, good with his back to goal and brilliant for other strikers to play off

John Connolly a bit dishevelled. Pity about his injury.

And, an interesting piece.

iirc, Gilzean gave a masterclass, run us ragged and Greavsie still had his instictive skills tjough his legs were going
That game was probably the at the root of my manlove for Gilzean.
Seemed to me he had it all
If you wanted a Shearer rough it up he could do that.
If you wanted a fox in the box sniffer, he was your man.
He trademark was the ghosted in glancing header
He could drop back and make the bullets

One game Spurs came to Goodison Jimmy Greave was in behind the striker in his twilight years with Gilzean up front-
my uncle who is now 89 stated as we got beaten easily those two have give us a football lesson.......

Quite possibly I was at that game and they gave us a lesson in footballing passing.
It was at the start of the season and the other thing I recall was all these fancy southerners sporting their sun tans, where our lads had what Ainsdale beach and hills for their pale appearance.

Everton Youth v England youth 1977-78 -

Notice the name no. 4 on the team sheet Martin Murray, the boy wonder signed from Eire, loads of clubs after him, sadly
he never made it and I never heard about him after he went back home,also at no.9 Ross Jack, his career record for the Blues was played one scored one, Ray Minshull youth development officer once told me he looked out of his window at
Bellefield and the best player he saw in training was Ross Jack, but he could never do it when it came to the real thing.

Cliff Britton

A gent, in the year we won promotion, we got beat 3-1 and after the game we saw the Everton coach parked outside an hotel in Leeds, the players were getting back on and Cliff Britton asked us if we'd had anything to eat, producing a £1
note out of his pocket, like a divvie I said yes thanks we have and the pound note went back in his pocket, Imwasca bit slow when I was younger ( about thirteen)

Just noticed the England youth team only Ray Ranson, and Tony Gayle made a first team... Joe Mcbride, Billy Wright and of course Kevin Ratcliffe for us in a very big way......
