Old Everton Pictures

It was to Everton's credit that after Burnley had wiped out a goal by Alan Ball they took command and forged a 2.1 lead. But it was hard graft. Jimmy Husband lost his right-wing place to Alan Whittle for the second time this season. The first occasion was through injury -but against Burnley, Whittle got manager Harry Catterick's vote as Everton sought to inject more scoring punch into their attack. There was a cushion of snow on the pitch, which had been rolled, but the warm sun was thawing the snow along the touchlines. It was obvious that both teams would have trouble keeping their feet. A Burnley breakaway almost led to danger, but a back pass to West was collected safely and Everton set up an attack.

One of my favourite away games as even as a 12 year old I realised how important a win this was towards winning the league
I remember ABC by The Jackson 5 was on the radio in the car on the way home through the snow.Always think of this game when I hear that song.
Sad but true..
