Old Everton Pictures

[Johnny Barton]

....not sure if that’s the game Anderson scored a terrific goal with the outside of his right foot in Gwladys Street.

Eggs, its not that game.
This is the first game of 77 season and Forest just promoted, also George Wood debut.
Forest won 3 1 with a certain John Robertson running riot.
Remember the headlines in the pink echo.
"Forest fire too hot for Wood "
They went on to win the league, some team they were then under Cloughie.
The Anderson 30 yarder was the following season in a midweek cup tie.

What a wall of players -

And the bloke in the middle with his head turned was the player who turned that team into winners, dont recall Lineker ever standing in a wall.
No way the other lot would have took the double the next year if Gray had still been there.
Big big mistake HK

No Andy Gray
Brace with short back and sides and too much white in the kit,
didnt feel the same as previous two seasons

24th August 1963 Fulham goalkeeper, Tony Macedo can only turn a chipped cross from Alex Young into his own net as the Blues take the lead at Goodison -in a 3-0 win - Inset in the photo is that Roy Vernon, and a young Joe Royle in the dugout?

Joe would have been very young there Joey, he would have only been 13.

....I’d guess it’s George Thompson in the dug out with Vernon, but it is just a guess.

Iain Turner purchased for agent Johnson who was ridiculously allowed to own two clubs Tranmere Rovers and EFC =us paid 500,000 for his services - I had seen him in a pre-season friendly v Chester & he looked a disaster waiting to happen then .... Agent Johnson just propping up Tranmere's finances hence he never made it that was a big fee at the time -

Joe Royle who played for Everton between 1965 and 1975 ...-

Think we got him from a Scottish club. Didn't he make his debut in a televised cup game at Chelsea when he was meant to be sub but Dickie Wright injured himself in the warm up. Made his league debut a few days later against Blackburn when I think he was sent off after about 5 minutes!

He's a coach at Tranmere now the guy I was thinking of was Steve Simonosen
There some raised eyebrows when Steve Simonsen signed for Everton in 1998 and supposedly became the most expensive goalkeeper in British football history. It was a complicated and somewhat controversial deal that could ultimately be worth £3.3M for Tranmere Rovers. Simonsen's contract was structured to take into account the number of Premiership and England appearances the youngster would make for the club. =Agent Peter Johnson at his worse .....

He was the GV’s cousin wasn’t he? Came in a package deal with him from Hearts.
