Albert Dunlop, seen here pelting teammates, would have been 89, today. He made 231 appearances for Everton, including 4 in the 1963 title run-in. He later made some (ill-founded) allegations re. EFC players and 'Purple Heart' pills. Ended his career at Wrexham & Rhyl. Died 1990 -
Royston Vernon - Roy Vernon. He would have been 84 today; one of Everton and Blackburn Rovers’ greatest post-war players (Stoke City saw little of the best of him). Also, a proud Welshman who went to the 1958 World Cup finals in Sweden for @roy vernon -
