club secretary from mid 90’s
My Dad was born in North London and became a Spurs fan 1921 cos they won the cup that year and he told me Jimmy Dimmock got the only goal and
that was it for him, he lived in a cellar with the rest of his family (5) and 2 other families lived in the same house on 2 upper-floors. Needless to say he
didn't even see a Spurs game until he was 14. My Dad used to take me to Goodison from '54 onwards until about '59, he still had family down there
and for a few years we used to get a coach down once a year to White Hart Lane and stay over the weekend, one particular year my Dad had a slipped
disc, so of course we couldn't go, it was only the 10-4 game (Bit of luck eh!). My reason for posting was that in the Stands on one occasion a well
dressed man was passing quite big photographs around at half time, they were in fact of John White at the bottom of a tree on a golf course. (I can still see it now) I can only assume the bloke was a newspaper photographer, I know my Dad wasn't best pleased.
I have blue relations in London as my late uncle was posted there when he joined the army stayed there all his life married a lovely cockney lady lived in Burmsey London his remaining family and grandsons still support our beloved blues
Yep easy peasey
George Heslop between West and Labone, Ray Veall between Harris and Temple might stump one or two

Who is the player between Labone and Kay...?
Degs...
Degs...
....looks like Mick Meagan. Moved to Huddersfield as part of the deal that brought Ray Wilson to Goodison.
Anyone remember why Mogsy never played in the Fulham 4-1 game in 1963 as Temple & Scott were the wingers that day. Also, the '66 final
v Wednesday same wingers.
...appearances suggest Scott/Temple were our established wingers until 66/67 season.

One of my all time favorites, if you wanted to play football, he’d play you off the park. If you wanted a kicking match, he’d kick you off the park. A true ‘hard man’ and a very good player. In the late 60’s it was Moggsy who gave the trinity time and space to do their magic.

From what season did teams playing each other have to have different coloured shorts?

Johnny Morrissey came to our house to visit when I was about ten years old! He was visiting the Boys Club I went to on a Friday night in the local church hall! Unfortunately I’d been in hospital that day for a small operation so was going to miss it! The guy who had arranged JM’s visit, and who ran the club knew I was a massive blue and bought JM to our house after he’d done his stuff up at the club!
“Made up”, doesn’t even begin to describe it!
Yes Moggsy was used sparingly when joining us missed out on the 1966 final.....
Mick Meagan
....interesting comparing the great wingers of my time. I imagine a more accurate analysis would include ‘assists’ for such a position but I doubt those stats were kept until recently.
Generally speaking, they all played a similar amount of games;
Kevin Sheedy 274 games; 67 goals. Ratio 1 goal in 4 games.
Johnny Morrisey 250/43. Ratio 1 in 5.1
Derek Temple 234/72. Ratio 1 in 3.2
Trevor Steven 210/48. Ratio 1 in 4.3
Alex Scott 149/23. Ratio 1 in 6.4
Lovely striker of a football, but I never realised how plentiful a goalscorer Derek Temple was. I goal in every 3 games is some contribution for a winger and he’s an impressive stand-out from that perspective.
