...was it really Princess Margaret? I always thought it was Princess Alexandra.
...I always remember Mark Wright lifting the trophy, clearly shouting to the watching world 'you effin beauty'. Total lack of respect and class.

My own personal thanks goes to.......
James Clement Baxter (1857-1928), the son of a Liverpool chemist, also a devout Catholic, and a man still revered and remembered on Merseyside as “The Good Doctor of Robson Street”. His service and dedication to his patients, mainly drawn from the poorest quarters – the impoverished, the orphans, the Irish immigrant community – remains legendary.
He is further honoured as a founding father of the great Everton Football Club – the man who put up an unsecured and interest-free loan to develop Goodison Park, club doctor, a director for some thirty years, and ultimately chairman of the club. He and Eugénie’s son, Cecil Stuart Baxter (1886-1954), followed him as club doctor and director – a link with the family that endured for over sixty years.

...Dixie looks physically awesome compared to the others. The only one who fills his shirt. Must've been a great side that one, perhaps even the greatest.
