At sydney cricket ground,Everton set another 1st by being the first foreign team to play there
 
I also read an article by Jack Charlton many years ago after he had retired, and he wrote about the return game at Elland Road when Moggsy went straight through him. I cannot quote it verbatim, but it went along the lines of, in the words of Charlton;
'I was moving out with the ball, when, CRASH, the whole world sent me face down in the mud. I looked up, and standing above me was Johnny Morrissey. He looked down at me and glared and said, "Right, put that down in your little f......g black book". Then he calmly walked over to the referee to receive a booking'.
This is apparently genuine.

....I can believe that but what a fine player Morrisey was, shame he doesn't talk about the game much since he retired. Brian Clough loved John Robertson in that great Forest side and he reminded me a lot of Morrisey, dip of the shoulder with a little body swerve and deliver. Very economical, very effective, very underrated.

And very true.
