We were roughly the same age and we both played the same position, slight difference in skill levels though. I went watching Everton in a pre-season friendly at Rochdale in about 1970. Howard came over to take a throw in right in front of me. I noticed a bald patch emerging at the back of his head. I wasn’t quite as jealous after that.
Incidentally a guy I played in the same team as had the game of his life that night and gave Labone and Hurst a really torrid time. Harry Catterick must have like what he saw and he signed him a week or two later. Steve Mellodew, ring any bells ? He was a stalwart of the Central League team but never made the first team.
