I lived at the bottom of Everton Brow, I used to look up at the view at the top every morning walking up to the Friary school at the top on the corner of Netherfield Road.

I went to a wedding there one Saturday night a cracking time was had by all ‘til the fisticuffs started near the end of the night, finished up okay in the best man’s house not far away.

Fat Harold with the Canada and John O’Leary, played in Kirkby, coincidently Harold’s wife Myra is getting buried today.

….John worked for Otis in Kirkby, I had the pleasure of meeting him and the greater pleasure of playing against him a few times. A lovely, modest lad.

I remember seeing Fat Harold in the Royal Oak on Muirhead but didn’t play at the same time as him.

Terry Gilmore had the Oak, a good few years ago, Terry was a very good amateur goalie, he came from the same area in town has Harold when they were growing up.

I played a lot in The Collegiate Yard a lot of Sunday afternoons after the pubs closed, it used to finish up fifteen or more a side, happy days.

Well the lad who got married and lots of his mates lived around Lytton Street and drank in the pub there, can’t think of the name of it at the moment, it became famous/ infamous around the 1970’s. Just come to me The Boars Head,

….Tommy Wheeldon and I played for the County at Schoolboy level. I have a newspaper pic upstairs of the two of us in Cologne. Sammy Lee was a teammate of ours. i think Tommy signed for Everton at the same time as Duncan McKenzie, moved to Plymouth(?) before making a career for himself in Canada.

Yep, I knew his son was doing well on the coaching side in Canada. The family are big Evertonians (our own @alan ball interviewed Tom in recent years because he asked me to send copies of the memorabilia I had).
