They did, and to this day they claimed they took the Street End. I would beg to differ.Maybe it is don't forget ould enter the Gladwys street on the side of the Bullins road too.....the Millwall fans tried it
I saw the action from the Paddock. There weren't too many Evertonians being led away blood streaming from head and facial wounds or being carried away on stretchers by St. John's ambulance that afternoon
20th February 1965 Pickering v Sheff.Wed (A) Wednesday keeper, Ron Springett, is well beaten by a Fred Pickering booming free kick that ensures a 1-0 victory -
30th October 1965 Fred Else is grounded as Fred Pickering scores at Blackburn against his former club in a 2-1 win for the blues -
His Goodison Park career started brightly yet ended with disappointment but there's no denying that Fred Pickering was a centre-forward in the classic Everton mould.
Having been fortunate enough to meet Fred at Gwladys Street Hall of Fame dinners at the Adelphi Hotel I can attest that the quietly-spoken Lancastrian was one of football's gentlemen and by then with his silver hair and glasses he cut a rather different kind of figure to the hulking powerhouse who once terrorised the game's leading defences.
Given the crushing disappointment he suffered during his Blues career, Pickering could have been forgiven for shying away from such functions, but he remained very much part of the Everton family and would attend to meet up with old team-mates and speak to the fans, many of whom were too young to have watched him play, in his humble, down-to-earth manner.
Former Everton stars, Ray Wilson, Gordon West and Fred Pickering all RIP....
