Daylight robbery was that win
A very young Raymond Wilson 1956 -
..that was a very decent Huddersfield team he played in with Denis Law up front and managed by Bill Shankley.
Bally in training-
...great picture. Looks like an organised game on the old A Team pitch that run parallel with North Drive. Played on that myself but spent many an hour watching games there. A housing estate now but nice memories.
..I remember the scoreboard had the Grand National result on it, Gay Trip won.
deffo under EFC celebrations a press clip obviously maybe the fans on the pitch after the Fulham game where we won the title on that day 1963?....
Jimmy Husband got us the pen how you described it - no Bally or Hurst that day we were underdogs.....
Ray Wilson was light years ahead of his time - as an overlapping Full back in those days even in his twilight years with us he looked pure class for us - some still say the best left back we ever had...........
He was very good defensively too......
..he was without doubt the best LB i’ve seen. I recall in the mid-60s him and Karl Schnellinger were debated regarding who was the best on the planet. Like many others at that time, I think Wilson started life as a winger.

I reckon Old Trafford semi final v Leeds 1968 at the final whistle.....
Tony Kay scored a thunderbolt in off the crossbar, not sure, but think it was against Switzerland. I was at William Ralphs
testimonial game but didn't realise Tony was captain for one of the teams. Looks like Michael Owen on the right.
“A night of memories at Goodison Park, of nostalgia and sentiment, and a heart-stirring moment when the fans greeted Goodison’s greatest ever player, Bill Dean, as he led the players out for his testimonial match.
“Where else in this country would a crowd nearing 40,000 turn up towards the end of a season to watch an exhibition match for a player who last appeared for the club more than 25 years ago? Of course, the player they were honouring was exceptional – so was the gate.
“The most memorable ovation was still to come. After Dean had kicked off he walked off alone, waving to the crowd, and I suspect there were tears in his eyes as every person in the crowd sounded their appreciation with prolonged applause and cheers. This was Dean’s night.”
The event raised £7,000 which would have been an immense help to Dean and his family, and would have helped fund his retirement from Littlewoods when he was 65. A lot of the praise must be directed toward Moores. He saw a club legend in need of support and went above and beyond to support him. Dean was not asking for help but Moores provided him with two jobs and a big payday to thank him for his loyalty to Everton. Football is completely different today and no elite club would ever really need to support a player in the way Moores did for Dean. Nevertheless, it is hard to not look back fondly at this era of football and realise how much has been lost in terms of relationships between players and fans. Players are so much removed from normal life that it looks like personal relationships like Dean working in Littlewoods, will never return.
