Big week that beating Spurs away and at home in 1970. Alan Whittle scored some vital goals in the run in.
Funny that the win at WHL in 1985 was just as important

Joey, you appear to have an "on line" link to old Daily Post and Echo reports. I visit Liverpool once or twice a year to go to the Library with my camera to copy old photos and then post them to my Pinterest account but I can't get a decent copy of your namesake scoring at Leeds 23.11.68 with a diving header (the copy in the library is too dark) . Is there any chance you can get a copy and post it on this thread. Thanks
I will try my best for you, I do buy books, magazines also been rooting out my car boot days where I picked up,stuff - your site is a delight by the way, I am an avid follower of it - that diving header as a young kid I was right behind it getting crushed in the Leeds shed end packed with thousands of travelling blues - I did find the game on Ytube and his goal you mentioned is on the classic Match thread - that goal as it was imo biased opinion the best diving back headed goals ever seen - the papers raved about it the next day --Bally chipped the ball I can see Keeper Gary Sprake in my eyes now casually going to catch it waist height , and big Joe thundering in side on to back head flick it over his shoulder into the net - the crowd went berserk it was an equaliser .. but like everything on that ground the cramped a disputed late goal our unbeaten run was over - the papers ranted about that goal by Joe quite rightly it was magic - If you go to classic matches it is there posted by me as it was in in those days the old MOTD perhaps only two games on in that late 1960,s - as for a picture I will look in value in for you as to my knowledge I have yet to see one, as that goal was so special to me one my hero two Imwas there, 3 it would be goal of any season now...

Thanks. Like you I was there and, in those years was seeing virtually every game home and away. I gave up my season ticket in the late 70s after I "emigrated". I attended Quarry Bank, a year above Big Joe and followed his playing career from start to finish. Between 1963 and the early 80s I had comprehensive scrap books but ,during a number of downsizing house moves had to "lose" many of them, retaining only Cup and Championship seasons. These formed the basis of my new collection on which I have built trawling the internet and my visits to the library.

Here's that great diving header goal - great goal 14 minutes in -
what a team we had you could see they were one day to be Champions....
I know you have funny I turned a job down in the IOM in 1983 - .... some regrets now ... but you can't turn the clock back - my other move was fruitful, but always a nagging point was when rep came to me in my workplace and told me I missed a great opportunity.....
That awful semi final - I was there missed the goal fortunately but two EFC greats on this photo -
