Old Everton Pictures

Both tigers in Midfield - Bally more classier - to think Revie did his best to bribe bally to join them leeds would have won most things with Bally in their side....
I read ages ago that Catterick had a done deal for £15,000 with the Leeds Board for Bremner, only for Revie to make it a no negotiation, hard core Resignation Issue - he goes I go.
The Leeds Board changes their mind.
Imagine a period from 1961were you could pick your Midfield from a permutation of...
Collins, Gabriel, Bremner, Stevens, Kay, Harris, Harvey, Ball, Jackson Kendall.
Assuming of course that real world events never got in your way

Ted Sager was a very vocal keeper in those days - F-ing and Jeffing at his defence - more so when a young defender started heading corners back to him named TG Jones - until Ted realised how classy he was he built up a great relationship with the prince of centre halves!
Arsenal v Everton 1949-50 - we got beat 5-2 -

….I’m sure these are young men, but the young men in these pictures just look old. I’m sure they were great players, though.

Bremner had a bit more guile to him than the usual Leeds hardknocks of Hunter, Charlton and sly arse Giles. However much Bally was a terrier too, he was the axis of our limousine of a midfield. Thank God I saw that purring along even though I was a kid.

I've always thought that Eggs when looking at the footballers from that era,probably in their mid twenties but look more like they are nearing retirement!!Hard times but even harder blokes,I wonder what they would think of the egotistical, overpaid pansies of today? :)

….even in later years. I always have a picture in my mind of somebody like John Hurst waiting at a bust stop and one of our current defenders driving past him in their Ferrari. None of them could lace his boots when it comes to being a player.

Puts it in perspective, Matey.

It does,I remember a game just before the pandemic in the concourse of the Main Stand walking past three blokes of a certain vintage each uttering in hushed tones to each other "John Hurst"now unless it was their rhyming slang for needing a burst on the old banjololit show the reverence they must still have for Hursty!!
