Old Everton Pictures

It's the London click Joey he's earning mega bucks from the BBC.Great finisher though amongst the best we've ever had.

That goal against Luton in the cup replay at Goodison, think he took on Foster for pace and lobbed the keeper into the Gwladys Street end. People say today he was just a finisher but he had pace as well; scored loads in the penalty box too and scored from all angles. Made intelligent runs, so fitted perfectly with Beardsley in Mexico World Cup. Those shorts though...taints my memory!
 
That's Tiger McLaughlin not Mr Terracotta. And although it doesn't look like him it's Westy in goal. Fa Cup 5th round 1972. Some film of it here though the camera is a bit too late to catch the goals. Good glimpses of Gary Jones flying down the wing and Henry Newton blazing our best chance over the bar. My memory of the game is an outstanding performance by a young Steve Perryman for them. We played them again a few days later in one of those games played on a midweek afternoon because of power cuts - drew 1-1, Big Joe missed a penalty but Henry Newton scrambled in the rebound.


Good spot Mick. I stand corrected.
McLaughlin was as clueless as Dario though
 
I would say its

Is this a painting? As the old Park End had an extra set of posts on the lower, but it dosent look like the Street end either since that has an extra set towards the back of the lower section? Also the exit onto the seats at the top, you cant get up to the back rows haha
Its the Park End.
The Street End mid level exits had the pathway directly infront.

Archibald Leitch's tender for the building of the 'new' Gwladys Street Stand - costing £34,602, 12 shillings and fourpence! -

Later the various slumps and the Rent Acts secured the tenants of the doomed houses a further extension.

“But two years ago Everton decided that the time was ripe to give 13,000 more fans an opportunity to watch their famous team.

“Accordingly the tenants of one half of Gwladys Street were asked to find other accommodation and given £25 each to help in their search.

“But one man - Mr William Fraser, an ex-soldier who is now a patient at the Ministry of Pensions Hospital in Park Avenue, Mossley Hill, refused to leave.

“The Everton club was beginning to get anxious. Plans for the new stand had been submitted to the authorities and it was hoped that the stand would be ready for next season.

Mr Theo Kelly, Secretary of the Everton club, said: “Everything has now been amicably arranged and Mr Fraser and his family are willing to leave the house as soon as suitable accommodation can be found. The stand, which will increase our accommodation by about 13,000, should be ready for next season.”

Everton didn’t hang about.

A tender was submitted by Archibald Leitch to an Everton Board meeting the very same day, January 26th 1937.

class bit of our history right there
 

The Park End had two rows of pillars under the upper section this hasn't
It hasn't got the walkway half way up though
But the shadows are consistant with Gwladys St in the morning, though the negative may have been reversed.
The number/depth of seats seems less the the Street End.
Could be an artist impression of the proposed new Street End

If it was wheres the wall and pathway? to the tier under the stand / the players in the early days trained indoors under the upper terrace wooden flooring section.......
The park end alway went right back before alteration it may be an impression, but it was titled park end?

Pros and cons for both views, a reet mystery and no mistake.
