Wolves 2 Everton 3 in Oct 1969 at Molineux. Joe Royle belts a penalty passed Phi Parkes #Div1 -
I was there that day in the opposite Kop - thought he had missed - a great pen -

The Chelsea no 5 would be sent off nowadays for that sort of tackle. Is it a guy called Dempsey? Surely he connected with Royles knee.
Players were proper hard as nails back in those times.......

Dempsey it was. Good team Chelsea in those days.

No wonder you won 5-0, our goalie, robbed for £20k was down the other end
Waiters had one of his occasional mares. Still, good move for Westy. A champions medal in his first season.

Not the Charity Shield game, this was the league game in December.
Both finished 4-0

Just like to quote a small passage from a book I've been looking over recently.
" Terry Darracott is one of The most genuine and well loved characters Merseyside football has ever produced. Although he never really hit the heights as a player, he was worth his presence for the sheer impact of his personality on the players around him".
Honest folks........that's word for word in a book i'm reading.
No more joking from me about the guy.........well maybe just one last one........who needs Ken Dodd.

Is that Terry Darracotts auto biography you reading lol

He wasn't the greatest, but still miles better than the current clown.

You are correct Joey, it was a tight game, much closer than I remember.
