The real Collins - loved to have seen him - just missed out on him ...doh -
Two seasons after he won Leeds promotion Player of the year 1965 Division 1 missed out in the FA Cup final lost the league to Manchester United on goal average too. -- Everton That - guess what he never wanted to leave ......
Nah, deffo a rs, my grandad knew him and told me so.Have seen a picture,may have been on this thread of some exterior damage to Goodison from the Luftwaffe,bit OTT from Adolf as the rumour was he may well have attended Goodison when visiting his half brother Alois in the citylol
Lloyd George knew my father too, father knew Lloyd George, etc.
Southport wound up by the recently departed Bingham and a few ex Everton fringe players got their retaliation in first and no mistake.
The plan was to upset Westy who was going through one of his, getting easily upset phases. So big burly yard dog Eric Redrobe set out to clatter him from the off...The memories of Nat Lofthouse still lingered and it was still just about tolerated.
But Redrobe pushed the envelope good style.
Westy though kept his cool and managed to ' accidentally' (on purpose) clock Redrobe round the earhole and put him down with one of his quick over arm ball throw outs...and the whinging sod complained bitterly to the Reff, who was having none of it.
If you look at the scores for the defence they all got poor marks due to 'over zealous attention'
Ray Wilson got crocked too, this IMO was the start of his decline...old bones being harder to heal...he was in and out for the rest of the season and peripheral at best the next season.
Our 'Tellins reader(s) will not need reminding that they also won
The Lancs Cup
The Championship ( top of the league)
The Championship Play Off Cup.
The R L Challenge Cup...
That's a lot of Pots...I think we're going to need a bigger table.?
My late eldest brother described Bobby to me as '' a pocket battleship ". Oh for a dynamo like him or Bally now.
….there’s a video of a tackle he did early in the 1965 FA Cup final, if it’d been on me I’d have spent the rest of the game out on the wing.
That Lloyd George certainly knew how to sow his oats lol worse than Borislol
For Tangerine Toffee - the complete goal scoring CF -
…its said the House of Lords is crammed with his descendants.
