EVERTON 69/71 -
Jimmy Husband Everton 1970 -
3rd February 1971. Playing on a red pitch, England's Alan Ball in action, against Malta at their Empire Stadium, Gzira, in the Nations Cup - note Colin Harvey only England cap = a disgrace -
The great Dixie Dean -
John Houlding a Brewery magnet loaded with cash - attempted to hijack the club by registering another company, Everton F.C. and Athletic Grounds, Ltd.in March 1892. Everton were still occupying and playing at Anfield, Houlding sought to take over Everton's fixtures and position in the Football League. The Football Council[clarification needed] would not recognise Houlding's new company as Everton, resulting in his changing the name to Liverpool F.C. and Athletic Grounds Ltd in June 1892, creating Liverpool F.C.. The distrust between Houlding and the Everton Committee resulted in Everton abandoning their substantial ground at Anfield and moving to Goodison Park on the north side of Stanley Park, issuing 5,000 shares as they did so, giving the directors a 6% stake in the club. Everton played their last match at Anfield on 18 April 1892 vs. Bolton Wanderers

A disgrace indeed. Although Colin made his England 'debut' in this game (link below) a 4-0 friendly vs Mexico in 1969, alongside Ball & Bell in midfield, only to find out later on that it wouldn't go down as an official cap. A real shame. The eye injury cost him his place in the squad for Mexico.
