Old Everton Pictures

ELEVEN weeks ago, an England star in the packed Guadalajara Stadium battling for World Cup fame . . . now an Everton reserve without a spectator in sight on the Goodison Park terraces. That is how football fortune has turned for Brian Labone, Everton captain for the past six years until replaced by Alan Ball. Labone is the holder of 26 England caps, and has made 507 first team appearance for Everton. He came back to Everton as one of the outstanding successes of the England team, but after playing in only three Everton League games this season, he was dropped for the match at Chelsea a week ago. Roger Kenyon. at 21, 10 years Labone’s junior, has replaced him and keeps his place at Manchester United to-night. And Labone ? He faced Manchester United reserves at Goodison last night before a handful of spectators. Echo photographer Stephen Shakeshaft was there to capture the picture behind the story -
