This photo has the great TG Jones on it winning the league with school of science football - TG was a unique defender years ahead of his time playing the ball out of defence to set up attacks the hoof stopped with him @Major Gowen ;) -

Dad's favourite Everton side & the benchmark by which he judged all the rest. Over the decades, I lost count of the times the phrases "He's not fit to lace TG's boots," "Not a patch on Lawton," or (grunted in disgust at a certain signing from Huddersfield), "Not exactly Ted Sagar, is he?" were heard.

Dixie Dean TG Jones was better than John Charles who had a more crouched style of play - TG was just majestic, my late father rave about his ability to get the ball out of defence by pure dribbling with a thunderous shot either foot, and the ability to pin point passing, lightyears ahead of his time - the book The Prince of Centre Half's was a fantastic tribute to him .....
