Mere Bank not a great name for a ground though is it - the other lot should have been called Anfield FC too!
Them prams in that snap made sound Go Karts.
Yep! A great day.That from the semi?
I first sat in the new, incomplete main stand for a night match against Newcastle at the fag end of the 68-69 season. Sitting at the front, away from any pillars, it seemed just the job.
Hennessy was an integral part of the side many older Forest fans thought even better than Cloughie's wonders of the late 70s. The 66-67 team finished runners-up in league & were knocked out of the FA Cup in the semi by Spurs, who duly beat Chelsea in the final. We were unlucky to draw them in the cup, but the match was a belter...maybe Henry Newton in the background, not sure if that’s Terry Hennessy challenging John Hurst.
The land we first purchased for our new ground was called Mere Green
So the name Goodison Park was given!
The land was a former market garden!

Hat-trick, Eggs. Terrific match...I remember the Cup game when Ian Storey-Moore scored 4 (I think) against us.

His wife was a collector of rare artefacts and had a museum in her front room. Her collection can be viewed now at the Atkinson in Southport.The stadium was named Goodison Park because the length of the site was built against Goodison Road. The road was named after a civil engineer named George Goodison who provided a sewage report to the Walton Local Board in the mid-1800s and later became a local land owner.
