25th January 1964 Roy Vernon's penalty away to Leeds secures a replay in the FA Cup after Alex Scott's penalty had been saved by Gary Sprake, only for the referee to adjudge he had moved early and ordered the kick to be retaken! It was in the last minute to make it 1-1 my late father and older brother told me it was Alex Scott who had taken them successfully when Roy was injured in the previous round who missed the first pen, Roy just snached the ball off him as he went to try again, and rammed it home to get the replay which we won -
A typical send the goalkeeper the wrong way Vernon pen keeping us in the cup -

The replay was a cracker, regular Goodison under lights bearpit, Gabby at No9 iirc, gave those 2 supposed tough guys Charlton and Hunter / Madeley? a right ( hard but fair) seeing to.
Which, in my opinion, set the idea into Revies head to next time come and get his retaliation in first...and, as we know it worked, so well infact, they did it for 10yrs
