Another two greats to make the Holy trinity -
One from the collection - a bit tatty but a good photo of the Everton 1961-62 squad. The managerial/coaching team is Les Shannon (ex-LFC & Burnley player), Gordon Watson, Harry Catterick and Tom Eggleston -
There is, it briefly shows what looks like Young...who was most probably the offside offender...heading the ball back across the goal to Vernon...who definitely wasn't offside...to slot it in.
3 or 4 secs long, but doesn't show where everybody was when the ball was kicked.
Much stricter rules then, plus a forgeign Reff plus the Italians were less than squeaky clean on the bribes front... allegedly...back then.
The Team were, due to injuries and poor form, only a shadow of the team that beat Fulham to win the league...we didn't even have a proper fullback and had to play a kid...a very good kid...in the 2nd leg and lost 1-0 over 2 legs to what was to become the European team of the Mid 60s.
Didn't Celtic best the over the hill version of Inter in 1967 in Lisbon??
Everton That
57 yrs on and here we are STILL with no fullback and playing Fulham again
Everton That X 2
I often wondered why they went bust...I know there was footballing costs and wages to pay even at that level.
With Goodison and anfield only a bus ride away, they couldn't charge too much or people would not go...the few that did
iirc, the social club was the chief support and that made money hand over fist...but again allegedly... I'm just not too sure whose hand and whose fist it was in the till and how much made it to the footballing side.
Again, iirc, the social club and football club split... I'm not sure whose idea that was either.

Don't know if he stood on it. Seem to remember he went in for an unwise, badly timed tackle, missed everything, allowing the Pole to gallop up the pitch & cross. I could well be talking absolute rubbish though!!!

Yep. Just watched it on YouTube & he does stand on the ball but it squeaks through to the Pole who eventually crosses for the goal.Don't know if he stood on it. Seem to remember he went in for an unwise, badly timed tackle, missed everything, allowing the Pole to gallop up the pitch & cross. I could well be talking absolute rubbish though!!!
@Jamo Martinez ... Youtube also has a clip of the Poles at home where Bobby does his thing.

I posted the clip from the newspaper in the 1-1 draw where Norman Hunter admitted the clanger ......we never qualified for the World Cup ......Don't know if he stood on it. Seem to remember he went in for an unwise, badly timed tackle, missed everything, allowing the Pole to gallop up the pitch & cross. I could well be talking absolute rubbish though!!!

I was in GSE right behind the goal to see Vernon score, there was nowt wrong with goal it was the referee. It came out later that he took bribes and there was the ? over our game. The Italian clubs it was rumoured were not above giving out back handers to officials.
