We used some of Ballys transfer fee to buy him - the Catt must have been ill as he turned out to be ....
The comedy value alone as Brenie the bolt squeezed into that kit lol
He was rubbish......

We all know about the 4 days from hell that blew us out of the European and FA Cups
But going back before that even.
Which came first?
The post 70 Championship drop in form or Cattericks increasingly erratic transfers / failing health
Or did all 3 feed off each other...this I think
What a legend . A one-off
..I read he ended up being a fork-lift truck driver in the Midlands and is now 66. He was useless but we all remember the character.

Everton v Manchester City 1971-72 - Mike Lyons and Bernie the Bolt Wright challenging Joe Corrigan -
Now that's what I call a striking partnership. Imagine Mick and Bernie playing against some of the defenders we see today... the stuff of nightmares!

Remember that brilliant diving header he scored against West Ham? Bobby Moore marking him as well. Bernie then threw up on the halfway line.
He also won a few bets off the other players by doing his party trick (one of them) of doing keepie-uppies from one end of the pitch to the other.
He was indeed a chess champion and was all set to challenge Bobby Fischer for the World Title, but Fischer didn't turn up, and then we bought him from Walsall after he'd lumbered around Goodison in a cup tie a few days earlier.
Bernie the Legend.
I feel sorry for those who never actually saw this oaf playing for us. He was pure comedy gold.
The fact they struggled to get a kit to fit him in the beginning of the tight shorts era was funny......
