Old Everton Pictures

seem to remember reading that Dixie played against Babe Ruth who was amazed at the poor pay and told him to come and play baseball in the US

Baseball was the thing for a time in those days, hence The baseball ground at Derby

Jimmy Husband leaps to cause chaos for Tommy Wright to eventually score in a 1-0 home win v Forest November 1969- notice a certain Henry Newton for Forest in the picture later to join us never hit the heady heights he did at Forest known as Henry the Hammer -

They did not mess about with this player!

That was my third ever game. I remember my dad buying me a Tommy Wright rosette outside the ground, and as you have mentioned he scored a rare goal. My day was ruined having lost my rosette coming out of the ground. I also remember the referee having to be taken off the pitch and replaced by the linesman. I think the referee was Roger Kirkpatrick.

Hi Joey.

Roger Kirkpatrick my favorite no nonsense referee used to march the wall back ten yards, and sit on the ball where he wanted the wall - a very comical ref who stood no nonsense in those days -, a bit of a showman , but got most things right imo!

.....and Ian Storey-Moore over Newton's right shoulder. I think he scored a hat trick against us in the FA Cup.
