Memories of Cliff Marshall, who we lost earlier this season - our first Black player, a winger -

I suspect Labby would have made them both better defenders. He was not only a great leader but had a calming influence on his fellow defenders - we missed him when he was forced to retire!
Whether the Catt would have signed them in the first place is another matter!

Remember that. Everything we did was about 5% higher quality than United in every aspect. We were excellent back then.

Keane and Holgate played ok on sunday. So I suppose I shouldn't be too critical of them. But it's just a wee thing me and my football mad friends often talk about. How would modern players have fared back in the day. And visa- versa.
For example I've recently had a conversation on how much George Best would be worth today.
And being an Evertonian , I started a great conversation on how many goals the great Dixie Dean would score in the modern game....
You see nothing much has changed with me since spending a mis- spent youth on all things football. It's now a mis- spent retirement on all things football. Especially Everton........Up the Toffees....

as a teenager, I remember and collected team photos with Cliff Marshall. I did actually wonder at the time why Everton had no black footballers. I do of course remember all the abuse aimed at black players back then. That thinking was never in my upbringing or thinking. Just was not there.
But I did wonder at times if Everton had some agenda. Apologies if that was not the case.
Anyhow.....Just a wee question. Cliff Marshall was out first black footballer. But who was our second. Who was the first black player with Everton to get a proper run of matches. I'm thinking Yobo or The Yak.
But that was years after Cliff Marshall. I really don't know.

Think that you are right. About 20 years after Cliff Marshall. Yep....I think that you are spot on....

I remember us going in for Mark "Everton" Walters but lost out to Rangers or possibly Liverpool I can't recall.

Think he signed for Rangers. Then Liverpool after Rangers. Good player. But he would have been competing for a place in the very good mid 1980 s team....good player though.
