...the little mascot is great. I suppose he could still be alive. Fine leap by Dixie, you can see the aerial power.

I tried to find this game by looking for a home game on same day as France played away in the 5 Nations as it was then. Could not get the dates to match up though. Guessing our scorer was number 10 John Hurst but looks like opponents got 2!!! Maybe it was another rugby international.

Was it 25/3/72 v Wolves. Ended up 2-2...Bernie Wright there with Howie. France were away v Wales that day. I couldve taken that photo...was in our speck in The Street ! Wish I was that kid again.

Ok but that mop of hair maybe its the angle of the picture or maybe he had his hair cut looks more like Ralph Coates to me!lol

Ralf Coates, haha can see him now with that flick over blowing in the wind.

Spot on there Jacob.
Looks like the shot from Howie could well be our 2nd goal, the first one being scored by the number 10 a certain Mike Lyons.
Hibbit scored their 2 goals.... No not Tony Hibbert

.....I use the phrase 'world class' very sparingly but Ray Wilson is one of very few I have seen playing for Everton who is truly in that category.

Always makes me chuckle when I see these old pathe news films of long ago game, all the crowd waving their caps in the air, bring back the cloth cap I say.

Great goal scoring record for us, sadly cut short by WWII.

I would go with Jimmy Gabriel. Not 100% but the fair hair colour is a pointer and Jimmy was chunky. Brian Harris was
dark haired. Great pictures. But if BlueLord has looked it up, what do I know?

Its Brian harris bluelord was right - imo Gabby had a mop of blond hair and Harris played anywhere as a fill in sometimes even fullback!
