Old Everton Pictures

[Major Gowen]

My late father related tales of him as I enthused about Labby ..... he could play anywhere - TG could shoot with either foot, a pure footballer - Dixie rated him higher than John Charles for his effortless elegance.....

Fabulous footballer, revered by just about every blue who saw him.

When you stop to think about how difficult it always has been to nurture or spot true greats - and sign them before the opposition does - how to explain TG's treatment post-WWII? Idiocy of some magnitude.

my mates dad who I used to go.to the game with absolutely loved TG raved about him,
when you think of some of the players he must have seen as well say something that he was his favourite.

Dont know mate , he was brilliant on loan , but never really hit those heights after coming back , wasnt bad but if he had an injury might explain it

He went on to manage Bangor FC taking them far in the European cup if the away goal system would have been in place they would have knocked out a top team - they had to have a third replay which they got beat .......
TG a top manager was again overlooked. by Everton as the again blundered by taking on a sports fitness Instructor Ian Buchan who fell flat on his face - Everton that
Even begging TG Jones into the hall of fame he walked out after his meal for North Wales the wounds the way we treated him at that time were still in his mind ......

Hi Joey,
my recollection was that Trevor Steven started the season as a new signing, got injured about October, Alan Irvine replaced him, but Trevor couldnt get back in when fit, Curran was a total flop when signed on a permanant deal.
