A THREE-GOAL DAY OF JOY FOR MORRISSEY
Liverpool Daily Post-Monday, October 1, 1962
EVERTON 4, WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2
By Jack Rowe
Whether Everton would have won with such comfort if West Bromwich had not lost their centre half Jones with just over half an hour gone is problematical, but for two players- Morrissey, the Everton outside left, and Kevan (Albion) –the match was one which gave considerable satisfaction. Morrissey scored three goals, to make his total four in two games, while Kevan took over at left half when Jones was hurt and did it so well that Everton were held on a rein when there seemed no reason why they should not have indulged in a scoring spree. When Kevan dropped back Albion inevitably lost their main striker and it could be that Everton would not have been able to move casually to victory if they had not been facing ten men. -
