Old Everton Pictures

The Goal Machine in Fred Pickering -

My first hero. My first game saw him for Blackburn at Goodison scoring a hat trick. We went out and bought him and scored a hat trick on his debut.
My older brother stated to me the Catt bought him as every time we played Blackburn - he hurt us he recalled to me an Fa cup game at ewood in the snow last five minutes and the snow started to stick on the pitch - someone did a back pass it held up in the snow late on, and who was on it in a flash to thump it home Pickering - My late father stated to my brother if we have any sense we would sign him!
we did - started off as a full back converted to a free scoring centre forward for Blackburn - his strike rate for us was remarkable - sadly 1966 that knee injury which was not fixable then maybe now? - ruined his career his record of goalscoring is up there with many Everton top no 9s!
 

Brian Labone scored 2 goals in his career with us .
My bible is showing 1 against Burnley away and 1 in the home game against Blackburn in a 2-2 draw.
Both goals in 1965-66 season.

Every cloud and all that, Mike Trebilcock taking his place.
You know, without me looking I honestly cannot recall actually seeing Trebilcock play for us either before or after the 66 final.
