Old Everton Pictures

Sorry Joey date is incorrect. Alan scored his hat trick as a 21st birthday gift to me on 21.9.68.

Both my bibles coincide with what I wrote the date the year the scorers ?

I'll throw a spanner in the works ... evertonresults.com has it as September 28th., '68. Will look at the programme later to check.

Any road up, none of it as important as the Harvey goal at the Street End ... a thing of pure beauty imo.

Has this site gone Woke ? If you click on my photo of Ball's penalty it comes up "Alan Ball sends West Brom keeper (Poor language removed) Sheppard the wrong way...." The original entry contained Sheppard's Christian name which is Richard (but he was known as Dick) and this has been censored out ! Its happened again .......maybe some Richard head has done the programming.
 
You had me doubting myself for a second and I also went back to Everton the official complete record by Steve Johnson and looked at my collection of photos. Bally liked scoring penalties against West Brom. I think you have the date correct, 17 Sept, but the year was 1966 and this was his penalty during the 5-4 game. Lets just agree that Bally was GREAT (But Fred Pickering was the greatest!!!)
Yes just checked 1966 it was 5- 4 September 17th
Then in 1968 September 28th it was 4 -0
both games v WBA at home in the same month Bally scoring five in combined games.....
What a gem he was .,..
Sorry for my confusion......
 

...and guess who is acting the maggot and not looking at the camera!! Oh Andy is our King!! RIP - one of my favourite Blues of all time.

His Dad also really GOT Everton, and travelled regularly to GP from his Luton home in the 80s.
There have been many players who have won the shiny stuff for us who I loved, Kingy won sod all but he won mine and a generation of Blues hearts and we will forever remember him as our KING :)

I've heard Harvey's goal was one of the great ones. Only the final shot seems to have been filmed (or survived down the years). It's always annoyed me that Everton's league victories didn't have their own Match of the Day / Big Match footage, as since it began we've always clinched the title either midweek (1970) or on a bank holiday Monday (85 & 87), so just had grainy news footage with no supporting commentary. I was lucky to be at the 85 game, mind, but still it would have been nice if the goals were supported with a commentary of the ilk of: "it's gonna fall for Andy King.... Sharp is hovering dangerously...or Reid's cross, Gray! etc"

The Catt in this era banned the TV cameras to a bare minimum only away games on occasion would be televised

A real shame. The only decent home game available seems to be the Man Utd game from 67/68...although I think the 0-3 derby in 69/70 was a Match of the Day feature (the 2-0 away that season was the 'few minutes' at the end of the Big Match thing).

The Catt also banned them from the training ground too, he had a right fall-out with the media - his reason he did not want us on screen for other teams to analyse his tactics plus the money was not that great for television back then .... even Bill Shankly showed his concerns , but not to the degree of what the Catt did..
