Alex Young equalises for Everton in the 5-4 thrilling win over West Brom on September 17, 1966 - that game @ManxBrian

The GV showing his ability to glide over the turf, a unique small skilful no 9 -

The very underrated John Hurst, a great dual centre half with Labby as a former forward could break out of deence and score many times - they raved about John Stones this guy was easily better than him - by a mile -

No sir.
That was the game that more or less clinched the title. The GV scoring the only goal.

I was there. As you say crowds were low then, but not that low, I think it is a misprint.

12000 for the game against Coventry at GP so 15000 was correct.

I remember being at the game with Spurs and Greaves was talking to Ray Wilson at a corner in the Gwladys street end, he had his hands on his hips not interested in what was going on .The ball came across and like lighting he got on the end of the cross and scored,but he was no good at pressing or covering for the full back so by todays standard he was rubbish.

Yes that was the game i was at and have pointed out if you look at the photo of the goal,Bill Brown is at full stretch Alex is about foot above him.Its not about how tall you are it's about timing and and spring of step.
