The last goal he ever scored for us...he'd had 3 or 4 not quite 'sitters', but chances that just missed before that went in, it could easily have been 10 or more.
That was the real end of Cattericks Everton, we peaked on that day and beat a decent team, we were unstoppable.

And it was slowly down hill from then
 
2nd August 1969 Joe Royle adds a third against Dundee as he dives to head home a cross from Howard Kendall - in a pre match friendly -

If Southampton was the end - This was the start.
They went a goal up against our slow starters, but nobody minded, we laughed at the whole Everton That-ness of it...yes, it was a 'thing' even back then.
But, iirc, we quickly went up the gears...without really getting into 4th...and ran out easy winners 4-1
Passing the winning post easing off at a canter, as they say in racing, with 20-25 mins to go.

2nd August 1969 - 20th November 1971
