Played a few games at Centre Forward (actual No. 9 on his back, not just shoved up front) when we were struggling for goals or the usual suspects up front were injured or seriously out of form.

Gabby yes a very underrated player left for Southampton , and did well there too, may be down in another player who left too early, but never going to play 2nd fiddle to Howard Kendall!
Yet another who Harry sold on too early for having a mind of his own. Jimmy said The Catt told him to get it out to the wings as fast as he could whether it was 'on' or not, while he would move it forward inside if he thought it was the right ball and that He deliberately sold him to a club as far away as he could.
Yes the catt quoted by Labby he bought some great players , but sold others far too quickly people talk of Alan Ball who I seen never seen Bobby Collins the fume from my late father , and older brother when he was sold to Leeds hurt us more as Collins led Leeds from the old Division 2 player of the season in the new Division one the success of a future Leeds sides was all based around Bobby Collins as he stayed as coach - a midfield dynamo, Captain, asked for a pay rise The catt was having non of it even though he had took the club from the lower position in the league to the top six one brilliant player sold for peanuts!

I sent this to my older brother and he laughed as my later father bought him a glossy picture of this below outside Goodison which as a kid he had put on his bedroom wall in pride and place!
My late Brother used to rave over him and call him "a pocket battleship"

Reading Brian harris book now and he stated he gave bobby a hard crunching tackle is a five a side game training , and a fight nearly developed, they never spoke after that. he said years later he was on holiday abroad and bobby was there by chance bought him a drink no hard feelings etc .
A great read on Brian Harris what a player he was for the blues!

A wizard !!
Another great from that fabulous era. I missed out on them all being younger but our Jimmy used to almost purr talking about that side...especially when he'd had a few brown bitters. Nice to see those two make it up too...no agents or lawyers or twitter rants in those days just a simple bevvy and a friendship rekindled.
