whos the idiot in the suit in the middle?lol1994
so sad reading the Holy trinity book at the moment - so shocked to read how some of the team really disliked Alan Ball particularly when he became Captain - when transferred Keith Newton quote glad to see the back of him, even Labby called him a big head in that era - when in training he shouted at an Everton player footballer you can trap the ball further than I can kick it!lol
Alex Young of course stated Bally fiery temper as a big asset , and loved his will to win as he bally hated losing a game of tiddlywinks!
Labby goes on to state Bally got at him to kick opposing players, { which He ignored him of course}and stated Bally would have loved the most arrogant Bastardio of a player he came across in Tony Kay who when banned Labby reckons the Holy trinity would never had evolved - some shocking revelations at Alan Ball the person, but Alex the gentleman Young of course like most blues loved him to bits, and claimed it was the most inventive classy trio he had ever witnessed watching them evolve whilst there and when her left!
Still reading the book its a must! Labby by the way mentioned Bally was so talented it was unbelievable to watch in front of his defence!
Keith Newton for me had a cheek to say that the team were glad to get rid of him etc as Newton was poor when he played for us way past his best signing for a huge fee from Blackburn!
They've missed Dave Watson out! Sacrilege1994
...no amount of words would put me off Alan Ball. Special players are often complex characters and Ball was very, very special (as you know). football clubs are like any workplace, there's always a bit of disharmony but away from that we judge players from what we see on the pitch. The book, though, sounds a good insight.

It must have been right at the end of his Everton career as the main stand is complete behind him - so I'm guessing late 1971.
I, your right about the stand, by the look on his face It could've been one 0f the last times he left Goodison as an Everton player.
Yes it also proves his temperament as he never ever made it at manager level - He was indeed a Ball of fire - Alex Young stated in training when he first arrived he looked very good, but nothing like when the whistle blew at 3pm he became a the ball of fire we all knew he also stated he was so consistent it only failed when the ref sent him off - to me the best box to box midfielder I have ever seen in football - The book so far is great he was that cocky he used to beat a man and sit on the ball , and then have the speed to recover , and move on - I was in the park end once and he did a cross footed through ball to Moggsy which was jaw dropping awesome!
The main thing was the fans loved him - Labby as Captain, and others never call his ability has told his true full opinion - the trap the ball comment had me laughing , but you could see he felt everyone had to give 110 % and some players would take exception to that!
Its a good genuine read a must for blues fans in that era
