Mickey Walsh - the striker we bought from Blackpool eons ago


He once won Goal Of The Season on MOTD....signed for us a couple seasons later.

And he became one of those much maligned figures in Everton history.

The non scoring striker.

I think it was the start of the '78/79 season and we were unbeaten and top of the league after about 16 or 17 games from (my increasingly suspect) memory.

Mickey played up front a a twin striker with Big Bob in a 4-4-2 formation.

As I said, he never scored and the boys in the Gwladys decided he was gash.....ran about doing sod all in our eyes while Big Bob was scoring for fun.

Funny thing happened, though.

Mickey got injured and Bob's goals dried up......and we faded out the title picture after the new year :(

He moved on to QPR, I think, at the end of the season.
