Fred Pickering scoring record with us - spoke to my older brother last night and he reckons he was one top striker as a no 9- only for his knee injury he would have gone on to great things - just look at his strike rate for us below -

In total, Pickering scored 70 times in 115 matches for Everton – an average of a goal every 1.6 games. Such numbers are pretty impressive for a failed left-back who was converted to centre-forward by Blackburn boss Jack Marshall in what proved to be an inspired gamble for @edge & co -

Romelu Lukaku joined an elite Everton goalscorers’ club on Sunday when he neatly nodded his 50th league goal for the Blues.

The names on eEvertons post-War list of half-century scorers are familiar, even household - Graeme Sharp (who got there in 125 games), Bob Latchford (112), Alex Young and Alan Ball (both 109), Joe Royle (95) and Roy Vernon (79).So who exactly was Fred Pickering, a centre-forward who scored 50 league goals in only 76 matches for Everton Football Club but is sometimes unfairly overlooked when the club’s celebrated centre-forwards are named? Fred Boomer Pickering- who holds a unique record -
he scored two successive hat tricks at Goodison park in one week - a hat trick for Blackburn v us one week then on his Home debut at Goodison again scored a hat trick in a 6-0 win over Notts Forest on his debut.....for @edge & co

Sorry to correct you Joey but I think of Fred as you do of Joe Royle. The hat trick for Blackburn was 9 November 1963 and his hat trick on debut 14 March.

Rare then for a striker to score two hat tricks for us & another team in a short time span at Goodison - Fred was a complete no 9 a goal machine only for his knee injury - My hero would have had to wait a lot longer .....
