Three greats for the blues all now sadly deceased - Ray Wilson, Westy, & Fred Pickering
Fred Pickering described a striker who “at his rampaging best was an irresistible performer. Though neither outstanding in the air, nor over-physical for a man of his power, nor even particularly past, he could disrupt the tightest of defences with his determined running and a savage right-foot shot that earned him the nickname of ‘Boomer.’ as the noise when he hit the ball so hard made a booming sound - He was our leading goalscorer in Europe until Lukaku pipped him to that record - he was a prolific goal machine......

The football Everton played under John Carey we finished 5th & he got sacked in the back of a taxi - which we later paid him out of court settlement - his Carey chicks never took off -

Most of his side helped to win the league in 1963/64-
