9th Nov 1963 actually.4th March 1964. Everton captain Roy Vernon congratulates debutant Fred Pickering following his hat trick against Nottingham Forest, at the Goodison Park.- Fred Had scored a hat trick at Goodison the week before??? for Blackburn Rovers in a 4-2 win for them, we signed him mid-week, and he scored another hat trick this time for us - in a 6-1 win - for @roy vernon - & @tangerine Toffee & co -
Bryan Douglas ripped us a new one, iirc, we were 2 or 3 down before we knew what day it was

Bryan Douglas very much instrumental in getting Tony Kay getting sent off that day.
9th November 1963. Indelibly etched into my mindset as to it being the date I started my journey with Everton FC. Oh the trials and tribulations being a fan over these past sixty years.
I'd totally forgotten that tbh.
Bryan Douglas was a class player - a youn Bally modelled himself on him - I moved from my first job to the Clitheroe area - when Bryan had a market stall - with a sign of his football history ex |rovers etc - selling hardware goods tools etc - how the professional footballer lives now hey -
Born on this day in 1946, Howard Kendall, the Blues’ most successful manager in terms of silverware won. An Everton icon. The Boss is pictured here in 1984 -
We thought this no 9 was a flop, then along came others recently -
