Nay, lad.
Nay, nay, nay.
Children whose parents weren't yet born at the time are threatened by said parents with the bogey man that is Clive Thomas.
"eat up your greens or Clive Thomas will come and take you away" always worked with my lot
1977 will never, ever be forgotten......that year is burned deep in the fabric of EFC as the year of Clive and the Villa trilogy.
Two cup runs which ended up in tears but which captivated all of Evertonia in that heartbreaking spring of '77 and still lives in the memory of all who were around at the time and the children and grandchildren they have recounted those events to.
And who among the tens of thousands of us who trudged over the Pennines in 1980 will ever forget the sight of Big Bob climbing up the railings to celebrate his equaliser against Hammers at Leeds.....nor Frank rotten Lampard dancing round the corner flag after he broke our hearts
Moving on a generation, Piere Luigi Colina remains a hate figure after denying us in Villareal.
Has anyone forgotten Dan Gosling.......
Or moving back again, the week we lost to the RS in the semi final and Panathinaikos in the European Cup quarter final in 1971 haunted by arl fella to his dying day.
No sir, cup runs are not "quickly forgotten" when they come to an end.
They are, in fact, character forming.
As my old granpappy used to say......."if it wasn't for the bad days, you wouldn't know a good day when it came along"
