Old Everton Pictures

What a player this guy was -

Was having a clear-out earlier and found this photo down the back of an old cupboard. I took the pic way back in the days when we were good... 1984/85 Season I believe, a few days after the Bayern Munich game; no doubt someone can correct me on that. It's not the most exciting photo, and it's pretty scratched up, but as far as I can recall I've never uploaded it any place before, so should be the first time seen on here.

Ian Buchan was completely of his depth managing a top flight football team, was former secretary/manager Theo Kelly, who was seriously into saving money, still around when Buchan was appointed by John Moores?

I read we were ruled by a committee for a time after Cliff Britton's departure in 58 after being sacked following two awful seasons. Poor Ian Buchan's life came to a tragic end just seven years after leaving us, dying in a car crash at only aged 45 in 1965.
No, one of John Moores' first moves was to get rid of Ian Buchan and appoint Everton's first proper manager, John Carey.
