Lucky we got Joe Royle - his Dad was a Manchester United lover - he started off as a wing half in those days of formation at the age of 15 years old for Lancashire Schoolboys - even the other lot were in to try to sign him -
Young Joe on debut, and showing his prowess of heading the ball - we lost 2-0 at Blackpool where a certain Alan Ball dribbled ring around Tony Kay & co - for @TangerineToffee -
Billy Bingham made a mistake selling Joe Royle to City as he only had 11 games alongside The Latch - who stated they were just getting a good partnership going - Joe later got an England call up at the expense of The Latch - For @Alanbileysfeathercut -
Bally v United - 1969 Everton v Manchester United Alan Ball Alex Stepney in a 0-0 draw - we broke down in my uncle's car on the east Lancs road - his brakes went on his Capri the day after an MOT on his car, and missed this game - For @bluelord49 & @Eggs & others -
Everton V Manchester United 19.8. 1967 Westy, Kidd, & Foulkes - remember the days we had a keeper who came, and caught the ball under pressure unlike today.... We won 3-1 Bally got two.....
