Henry's debut at Highbury saw Catterick drop John Hurst to make way for him, shifting Howard back into the centre of defence alongside Kenyon, where he had the misfortune to be marking a red-hot Ray Kennedy. We lost 4-0 and the Catt never made that mistake again. Henry was consigned to the stands for the next few weeks until he re-emerged playing out of position at left-back, where he was to spend a good deal of his spell at Goodison.

One for the specialists. I came across this on my recent visit to the library but can't identify the year. According to my records Dean scored against Blackburn at Goodison 6..4.28 (2 goals), 1.3.30 (1 goal), 26.12.31 (3),8.12.34 (2 goals), 14.3.36 (2 goals). It's wishfull thinking but does anyone recognise the photo from their collection.

Joey, did your idol, Alex Young, score the first goal in this game?

Billy Bingham doesn’t look like he’s made the right decision in signing him either !!!
No it was Frank Wignall - who bit us years later in the FA Cup playing for Notts Forest - he gave Labby a torrid time that day......
....it would’ve been ideal if the caption named the Blackburn goalkeeper. I’m not sure about kit changes in those days, but one way of determining could be looking at team photos from those seasons to see if there is anything unique in what they are wearing (hoops on the Blackburn socks).
Great picture, though.

Well he went soon after signing McKenzie and Bruce Rioch, I saw their debut at Coventry in a 4-2 defeat.

Joey, don’t think Frank Wignall played in that game, just check, it might have been Billy Bingham who scored the other goal.
Sorry the first game away at Bolton Gabby and Bingham scored you are correct.I thought you were talking about the GV debut post where we got beat ...my mistake sorry
TBH as a 6 year old in my debut game of seeing the blues what ecaptured me was the away support blue balloons all over the pitch the fantastic away fans etc my late father loved seeing Gabby a great play and great servant to the club maybe sold in haste too......
Did not know Peter Kay's relation was a Blues fan -lol
