FRED PICKERING - March 14 1964 v Nottingham Forest debut hattrick
PERHAPS best remembered for a match he didn’t play in – the 1966 FA Cup final when the little known Mike Trebilcock took advantage of Pickering’s lack of match fitness to write his name into Evertonian folklore, the burly striker made an instant impact when he arrived at Goodison for a hefty £75,000 fee in March 1964.
He scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 demolition of Forest and the Post’s Horace Yates enthused: “£75,000! Yes, and cheap at the price! With ordinary luck Pickering can prove to be the link to make Everton as well known and feared in Europe as they are in England.”
Sadly Fred wasn’t blessed with ordinary luck.
“The ground echoed and re-echoed to the crowd’s adulation of a man who will surely fill the gap left by the departure from the scene of Dean and Lawton, as no man has ever plugged it in the interim,” he added.
Despite an outstanding return of 70 goals in 115 appearances, Fred didn’t quite live up to that billing.
