The part about going to your first match with your dad got me emotional as im bringing my little fella to his first match next week v spurs and he hasnt stopped talking bout it either, it,ll be a proud day for me.

Oscar Wilde , Brendan Beehan , Sean O'Casey , George Bernard Shaw ,... As someone once said , lid , eh ????
 

Just another aside ; TO ALL the Taxi Drivers hanging out of windows , saying , " Bally , lad ... IS FUKN RIGHT ...!!! "
, and the people whom stopped me at the match or in the street - I was ALL OVER the Media , btw ....
It was lovely . Thank you , but , IT WAS ALL THE GINGER FELLA ....



Me mate just told me about ANOTHER Soldier wanting to read this , thus , I'm fresh posting so it will be clearly visible on Everton Forum Page 1 .

I should also like to highlight the above quote .

I should've mentioned the reception I received .

Strangers , Beeping , hanging out of cars , screaming , IS RIGHT LAD !!! Bally Lad !!! , as they go by .

Strangers again , stopping me , saying , You're a credit to your family , your club and your hero . NO [Poor language removed] !!!

I went to the ticket office the next day to see me mate . They stood up clapping ....

BIZARRE !!!

The Media ...??? Fukn 'ell . I'm ALL OVER the Papers , was constantly on the Live Feed on the day ,was in the Portsmouth / Southampton whatever its called . Echo/ Post Daily Mirror , etd ... The Tele .... Radio ...

An' I've kinda GOT an Ego , remember ...

Mad as fuk . The whole thing .

Anyway , I should've included this ...

Enjoy , Soldier Boy / Girl , lid .
 

Within two years , he broke into their first team , making his Full Debut against , believe it or not , FATE , btw ; The RS at Grey Skull , in 1964 . Guess what ? They won 2-1 . Bally , see ?

In playing at Grey Skull , at age 17 years , and 98 days , he became Blackpool’s , of Matthews and Mortensen , youngest ever player . He went to Craven Cottage the day after Kennedy was Assassinated , a lucky ground for him for the next years and bagged a hat-trick soon after .


Now, Mr. Ball.

I am trying to read your "sermon".

I am having difficulty with the above quotes, though.

If Bally made his debut at "Grey Skull" in 1964.......how could he have gone on to score a hat trick at Fulham the day after President Kennedy was assassinated?

(presumably the Fulham game came after the "Grey Skull" debut in '64)

According to everything I have ever read or heard about that dastardly deed on thar day of infamy, the fatal bullet was fired in November 1963.

:-(

Fair comment . I was stressed . He DID score the hat -trick the day after Kennedy . It must have been 6'63 /64 . I put '64 .

Excellent spot , kid . I defo never THAT IS for sure .

It was .

( I was about 13 weeks old at the time , incidentally . If YOU READ the thread , you shall see I was STRESSED with this one . Hardest thing I've ever written , in truth . That I only made 2 fuk up's is half-decent, tbh .
Particularly with the amount of Green I consumed in its creation . )

Still , again , I thank you for pointing out my error , kid .

Anoraks ALWAYS welcome in The Reverand's Congregation , lid .
