The RS drew 0-0 with Spurs but beat them 0-1 in replay.
I can’t remember the semi final as I have totally obscured that terrible day from my memory as I have the wednesday prior to the semi. What a horrible week that was.
Thankfully Charlie George made the final one never to forget
nice story Joey.

Jimmy was so good in this game that the watching Panathinaikos scouts, possibly including Puskas, decided they should target him in their game at Goodison. Jimmy was carried off after 7 minutes.
Spurs 0-0
Dave Mackay of Derby in the old Division 2 playing at Goodison in the league cup we battered them but could not score when Jimmy raced away from the half way line clean through on goal - Mackay was an ageing player he had been dishing it out all night came across and took Jimmy out waste high - he was the last man in line of the defence - Jimmy was stretched off it was horrific - Goodison went metal chanting Off Off Off - I don't think he was even booked - old school favorite with his illustrious career - We lost the replay 1-0' Jimmy was out then for a good while - then Clough who I respected as a Manager condemned Leeds as a dirty team in which they were, but that was the worst tackle other than the double leg brake on John Connley v Altringham in the FA Cup I had ever seen - I heard about the Panathinakos one but could not get to that game ....
Jimmy was England material till those injuries!

Whenever we could, playing away at say Forest, or in the Midlands or surrounding areas we always used to go and see Inchy or his Dad at Champions bar in Hanley....
Met Peter Reid there too.

Seem to remember he formed a good partnership in midfield with Sammy McIlroy for Stoke - first time I noticed him anyway.

That's undoubtedly how it was. Disgraceful.
A picture and article for @Major Gowen a great lover of this thread who is very ill in Hospital ATM - his son let me know and I am sure all our thoughts are with him and his family atm - his favourite era is the 1938/39 season of the great Championship side of his heroes TG Jones, and Dixie Dean - god willing he will be back on the GOT Godspeed
here is an article for him -
THE GLORIOUS CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM OF 1938-39
A new superteam was in the making, and it bloomed in 1938-39, the last season before the war. The war forced the League into yet another long break. This time the title stayed at Goodison for eight years, before it was handed over, again, to the other side of Stanley Park.
Everton had bought in 17-year old Tommy Lawton from Burnley in the spring of 1937 for 6,500 pounds. With the guidance of Billy Dean, who was at the end of his career, he rapidly developed into a great forward.
No-one else could have been able to fill Dean's boots. At Everton, Lawton was greeted almost as a gift from God, because Dixie's retirement was the worst fear in the minds of the board.
During the championship season, the 19-year old Lawton scored 34 goals and was instantly selected for the England team.
When choosing the best center-forwards of all time, Everton have two players that lead the pack: Dean and Lawton. Dean was a better goalscorer, but Lawton was a better all-rounder. Born October 6, 1919, Lawton was also an excellent goalscorer: he scored a total of 570 goals in three years for his school team!
Chairman Will Cuff managed to get Lawton by promising that he would be playing in the England team before his twentieth birthday if he joined Everton - and that's exactly what he did! In February 1937, against Tottenham in a cup replay, Lawton scored a goal that was just like the ones Dean used to score. Seeing this, Dean said: "This is it. This is the end." Tommy Lawton had arrived.
