Old Everton Pictures

[Joey66]

Passed away 20th December 2012. A darn good midfielder. Also when he came, I believe played in every game for two seasons.

Duncan edwards Cousin my older brother says he was a great player , but nothing like Collins - {the @ Alan ball Book I am reading now halfway through its brilliant VFM }the respect for Bobby Collins from ex players is where it I expected to be listening to stories from my late father and my older brother

As a kid,it may even have been my first full season,I can remember Mick Bernard sticking his hands behind his ears and sticking his tongue out at an opposition winger,was I dreaming this as a kid or can anyone confirm it happened? as I really want it to be true

Johnny Morrissey and George Best

Best EFC & MUFC kits ever. So simple. So nice. Hate having sponsors on (I know - its a revenue source). No silly white lines or stripes, shading in the material, PL logos etc.

No badge, either.

I know the team under HK in the mid 80's was superb for me this was also a team that merited equal acclaim and just look at the details for that season.

Harry Catterick will live long in the minds of Everton fans as one of the greatest managers their side has ever seen.

In 1962/63 Catterick led a side containing legends Roy Vernon, Brian Labone, Alex Young and Alex Parker to a season of unprecedented home triumphs as they ended the season unbeaten at Goodison and with the league title sewn up.

Rarely can a ground have held so much fear for visiting players as Goodison did that season, an average crowd of 51,469 turned out to see the Blues, over 70,000 watched the first Merseyside derby in 11 years.

Dennis Stevens came in from Bolton to add steel to the style of Vernon and Labone and with Tony Kay added to midfield the Toffees were a formidable outfit.

The Blues notched six wins from their first seven games and stayed on or about top spot all season.

The Big Freeze hit football that winter, Everton didn't play any games from December 22 to February 12, and it affected the team's form when play was resumed.

Catterick's side lost at Arsenal and Sheffield United and could only draw with Blackburn and Liverpool, but just as it seemed they were losing their grip on the title they found their feet and left contenders Spurs and Burnley trailing in their wake.

The title was confirmed with the last game of the season; a 4-1 home win over Fulham, Roy Vernon scoring a hat-trick to cap his most successful season with the club.

A final points total of 61 was a club record.

Nev was/is 6ft 1, would be considered small for a goalie now.

Very much so, probably the shortest in the league currently with the exception of Bravo at City, maybe.
