Bustling Dave Hickson letting the defenders know he is around - Labby always made a quote with dave he always came in with blood on his shirt - sometimes not necessary his { Dave Hickson disciplinary record was not that good indeed the boards main reason for selling him!}

Finger wagging and a free kick...love it.

 

[Major Gowen]

I can remember him being called "Dirty Dave". I can also remember Jimmy Harrower of the RS knocking Dave to the ground
with a punch. Though even "Big Dunc" had a Nemesis.Everyone has one.

A lesson most of us too stupid to grasp the point instinctively are obliged to learn the hard way!

Davie was the only idol I ever had, he wasn’t the best player who ever played for the Blues, but there wasn’t any player who loved them more, and he was idolised by thousands of Evertonians when he first played for us: a cracker.

Looks like hard, crusted ice covered most of the pitch, Joey, during that long, bitter winter of 62-63. God help any of the players hitting that surface on the wrong patch or angle. All that said, I loved matches in those conditions!

Is that you Bobby?

What a winter that was Major, from November to March relentlessly cold, with snow and ice constantly on the ground. The football season was a case of continual postboned matches, one cup game in Scotland was postboned a record number of times, think it was eleven. Everton suffered slightly less because of the underground heating which made one or two games playable. I think it was the longest and worse winter I have ever lived through. It had a happy ending though because we finished up winning the league.

A joyous end to a savage winter, the worst of my lifetime. I suspect we'd all endure a lot more like that for the same outcome. All our worst winters of the past three decades have been of the soul. Will we ever put together again a team capable of winning the league?

I’m not sure I will but my sons and grandsons most definitely will.
