It's easy to forget now but Heath was considered the star player by many until he got injured. When Everton featured on the cover of World Soccer in 84/85 (for the first time in years) Inchy was the cover star then too.

Let’s get it right - until Brian Marwood nearly crippled him with an absolutely horrendous challenge!

It all looked golden and full steam ahead to the top of the game for Pick back then. But it all went wrong in 1966. Still, a successful period and legendary status was to come in Tangerine in 1970.

Agreed. I was there that day. Disgusting challenge. Inchy was fantastic, he's my favorite player to have ever played for us....if that dolt Marwood had not crocked him, he would have scored 35-40 goals that wonderful season. Gray was a phenomenal replacement......and obviously up to the task.....but Heath was a MUCH better finisher and scorer of goals, compared to Gray's disruption of defenses and never say die attitude.

Was there as well, it was one of the worst challenges I’d seen up to that point! I also knew pretty much straight away there wasn’t a chance Marwood would get off that pitch unscathed with the likes of Ratcliffe, Psycho, Reidy etc around ?!

An American called Bissell was credited with inventing them around 1870. Yes Ewbank were probably the most famous over this side of the pond - they are still being made!

I can't remember what make my Ma's was. I just remember the excitement when she got an upright electric Hoover with the bag attached to the handle. It seemed space age at the time !!

It was very like this one...
