...so much easier for Royle and Young to time their runs in front of defenders because they knew when Morrissey would deliver. Terrific player, I know you think he was very underrated.
Yes John Robertson was hailed a great similar winger - Moggsy missed out imo 10 years service for £10,000 from the other lot what a bargain he really was
Shank went mad at the time we know why now.......
....Dave Hickson asked me to play in a charity game in the mid-70s. I think he just wanted somebody young who could run around more than the old blokes. Got in the dressing room and as well as Dave, Derek Temple and Brian Harris were playing. It was a lovely experience for an Evertonian like me.
Bobby Park season 1914 was a goal machine for us helping us to the title, the season ended played when the war was going to an outrage - born in Scotland nr Glasgow- it was stated he could have become as good if not better than Dixie Dean - after 1914 he was called up to the first World war came back to play football for the blues with a bullet in his back he returned but was never the same player at the time the Everton board did not relate the news to the fans he was wounded in this way but he was compensated in a good severance pay at the end of his playing days by our club - born 1891- died 1950 photos are rare of this striker -

...you have mentioned it 99 or 100 times, Joey. I like the Blue socks with white trim, would be good to go back to these designs at times. I know we all loved the amber kit.

....amazing that he was leading scorer during 4 seasons Hickson played. Dave said him and John-Willie would’ve got England caps had selection not been by committee.
Joey, how hard was life in those days eh? I think back now of my Mum & dad growing up right through the 20s, they had 'buggar All', We 3 kids never
went hungry and were always pointed to the 'straight & narrow'. I think my luck is now running out what with this China Virus and our government
lying at every opportunity(They are a disgrace).
All wars are terrible particularly the great war my grandad fought in that and luckily came home .....2 he world war as you state terrible on the home front - I remember my late mother having g to try eating Whale Meat ......
The 1914 title played on during the first year of the great war understanding a lot of controversy .....season - we won the title in 1914 the season was not abandoned.....
After that season it was ......
This virus we can't see the enemy .....and I am losing a bit of faith like you with the pork pies being broadcast.......dailly.....
Where we made of sterner stuff in the old days ?
To think the football was not cancelled in 1914.......
