Dave Clements scoring V Manchester City -

Looking for some HELP. I am getting married in 4 weeks time and looking to get a present for my Dad, Joe McBride. He played for Everton in the 80s. I want to put together something from his debut in 1979 in the home tie vs Feynoord on October 3rd. Does anyone know where any photos from this game might exist?

Your old fella was decent. I recall the 2-2 game against the RS (we never scored never mind got a draw against them)!

Your grandfather was one hell of a player too.
 
My old fella and his dad were good friends of Alex Parker. When one of our pets died Alex, who I understand was quite a carpenter, made a coffin for it. I recall my Dad saying he travelled to Scotland for his funeral somewhere south of Glasgow I think.
I stand corrected. I remember now. He called in on him on his way to Glasgow (he was very much alive at the time!)

My Dad took a 10 year old me to this game (the previous England v Scotland clash at Wembley was when the Scots had the massive pitch invasion)! George Wood was Scotland's keeper in this match,but I don't remember him having a great game to be honest. I always remember Wembley erupting when Scotland took the lead before England turned it round,they must have had at least 3/4 of the attendance,at least that's how it seemed to me. I do remember big George tackling a pitch invader that had ran into his penalty box!
