I saw him boy he was strong & as you say he could mix it with the best - in hindsight we should have kept him a bit longer to let HK bed in ....... Southampton got a bargain......

What a squad. With out a doubt some the best players in the league back then. Wish a lot of our younger posters had seen them play.

iirc, he had a newspaper column for the southern papers, he may have even been one of the very few who actually wrote it himself
But that sort of stuff would play well in london where Spurs were the big deal about then.
Ive seen other articles saying how we were ' too rough' and basically kicked the southern media darlings out of it to win the league

His Dad doesnt look too chuffed either. Dont think either of them were willing particpants in the cold and brittle transfer. I cried on the stairs when I was told that morning.

Was gutted that day....

here are three gold-plated Everton greats eating dinner together: Roy Vernon, Harry Catterick and Alex Young. Possibly Tommy Eggleston, right of shot.
