Old Everton Pictures

Utter trivia, and will be lost on many, but heard Glad All Over by Dave Clark Five earlier this morning.
Took me back to my first games at GP to when that was played over the Tannoy and the stamping in unison on the wooden floors in the Park End stand when that double thump of the drum was hammered out.

iirc, they went down well during the FA Cup replay on a frost January evening Vs leeds - 66,000 watched Jimmy Gabriel doing his Conan the Barbarian impression at Centre Forward and stamped along with DC5.
That night we were truly Glad All Over

I'm sure this game (an archetypal bearpit under lights if ever there was one) and the original cuptie, which was also a bit tasty by all accounts, was a direct cause of Revie implementing his cowardly 'kick them and put them off their game' policy which resulted in the Debacle in November.
After that game we were in Bits And Pieces.

I'll get me coat.

No at half time we were the better team1-0 up - injury free we could have won the double that season, the two wingers destroyed us in the 2nd half - the Catt never ever put a full team out to lose a game deliberately when thousands of blues fans turned up for that game,- me included........

Impressions and opinions innit, the penno notwithstanding we just werent at the races. OK , they were a top 2nd div team, who, iirc, got promoted that season. But for a team that was streets ahead of anybody that season, we didnt have a gear to go up to.

Edit; a memory refresh shows the recently arrived Newton at LB, no Harvey, but Jackson was usually a decent replacement and Wright getting injured to be replaced by the recently struggling Sandy Brown.
Which might account why their wingers had a field day.
Maybe it was just one those Everton That days

In hindsight your post may be spot on .....but on the day the blues fans were furious with that 2 nd Half performance fuming on the day in fact we were on top form .......before collapsing in the 2nd half, also why the Cattt never signebonevor both wingers in the future was a mystery to me .......

An unremarked feature of this glorious night at White Hart Lane was the apparent death of an ancient & much-loved tradition of our visits there.

I refer, of course, to the generous practice of local jewellers of employing visiting blues to flog their excess stock, at remarkably discounted prices, to fellow-blues on trains & coaches heading back north.

Nothing would have rounded off the night's drinking better than a bag of souvenir watches & a necklace for the better half.
 
Does anyone have a reasonably high quality photo of goodison under the lights from fairly recently (preferably empty)? I understand this isnt necessarily a request for an old photo and I'm not sure if you all take requests like such. Just I'm playing football manager at the minute and the picture for goodison just isnt cutting it, and I haven't been able to find a decent one on google. Thanks guys
