Denis Law - The one non-Everton player I regret never seeing play (Even though he was still around until the early 70's I never got to see him play, not live anyway)

- He weren't smiling at F/T though

That no 9 on the mascot was well sewn on by a good tailored mother!

Changy's Grandad

Me arl fella could well have been operating one of those cranes.....And the writing on the upper sign looks suspiciously like his as well.

I'll show him the photo of the steel riggers....He might recognise one or two of them!! Might even know the fella next to The Cat & John Moores on the other picture!

Ipswich FA Cup 1/4 final,played as a wing back that day,great performance,oh and his oggy for Man U that won us the Milk Cup tie at Old Trafford,I can honestly say that's all I can remember of him

...I was at that game at Old Trafford, we were good that night. I can also remember him getting out of a cab in West Derby Village absolutely smashed and asking me where Barrie's was. His old man was a big fella and scout at Aston Villa, he tried to sign me when I was a youngster.

The days when we had one class Keeper in Westy a fantastic backup in Andy Rankin , and Geoff Barnett - who we sold to Arsenal who was also a very good keeper-

....true, Joey. I think Barnett played in an FA Cup Final for Arsenal. Rankin was in goal and a hero of the penalty shoot out (I think) against Monchengladbach in 1970.

First European Cup game decided by penalties I think! No one knew the rules haha. Andy Rankin's save to clinch it was boss. Into the street end too. If only the fiorentina pens had been into the street end too...!

I was in the park end -, a gang of us out in the rain - when it come to pens, and out main pen, who rarely missed taker Joe Royle missed fans started to leave as no one knew the rules on pen shoot outs we thought we were out when there guy scored - then a load of fans at the back shouted it was the best of five we all came back, and if I remember in the days of big crowds just got back to see the highlights on ITV or BBC !
BM were the German Champions , and we had knocked the best side out imo! HK scored for us away!
Typical to go out in a controversial way v that nasty Puskas side later on !
