Worth a stand alone thread that.

Mine..fwiw.
Andy King Derby.
Highbury semi...I was crying when inchy scored.
Main road 77 euphoric to sadness and a forgetful replay on a school night.
The latch 30 goals.
Hansen hardball.

From 95 onwards there's been plenty,but those five I was there.

In the back of my mind I recall a few stand alone threads but thought it was an opportune moment to chuck them in.
It's all subjective of course. I can relate to every one of yours and as you read them you're in a plot second, right back at that moment.
You can see from my timeliness it was all downhill from 86

George V died Jan 1936 not 1926. Everton played three home games in a row that January Liverpool, Preston, Bolton. None of those clubs would have played in stripes. So we're still no nearer. @Joey66, what have you started?
BTW am waiting for a response from Fox In Peace to see if there's any Leicester connection.

Sorry, typo. Meant 1936.

Did they observe Remembrance Day?

Great colour shot of Bally and the other fellow trying to take him on. There is a Blackpool connection between them too. The Stoke player is George Eastham who was born and bred in Blackpool. But never played for the Tangerines. Another one who got away like Roger Kenyon and John Hurst. :)

He went on to have an excellent career with Arsenal especially I remember and also Newcastle and Stoke. I think he was a member of the 66 World Cup squad too so that would be another connection between the two ;)
 

My older brother claimed what a winger Tommy Ring was, all for a double leg break away at Chelsea colliding accidentally with their keeper - Roy vernon stated he heard the crack he knew Tommy was done for - My Brother raved on how gret he was on the wing -before that incident - in those days no way back at a high level -

Tommy Ring was born in Glasgow (son of Patrick Ring of Tunduff, Abbeyleix, an uncle to the late Paddy and John Ring and Andy who at 87 years old still resides in Abbeyleix). Tommy spent many happy summers holidaying in Tunduff and always kept in touch with close family relatives. Coincidentally Tommy’s uncle Charlie Ring worked at Hunt’s Factory in Scotland where they made leather soccer balls.
There is a tale that Tommy, on one of his many visits to Abbeyleix, played Junior Gaelic Football with Abbeyleix!

Tommy was best known when he played for Clyde, who won the Scottish Cup in 1955 and 1958. He scored the winning goal in the replay against Celtic. He was capped 12 times by Scotland (53-57). He played for Ashfield, Clyde, Everton, Barnsley, Aberdeen, Fraserburgh, Stevenage Town and the Scotland National Football Team.

Ring was transferred to Everton in 1960 for £12,000. He spent only a short time with Everton, but the impression he made was deep and lasting. From the first moments of his debut against Nottingham Forest in January 1960, it was evident to all connoisseurs of quality football – and there has never been a shortage of those at Goodison Park – that a performer of pure quality was parading his wares. Ring is still considered one of their best players hence many headlines were written concerning him such as “Blues could just ‘Ring” for service”, etc.
