Ellesmere Port had has 2 England captains also in gentleman Joe and Stan Cullis...gentleman Joe Mercer. Him (5 England caps), Sam Chedgzoy (8 England caps) and Dave Hickson from Ellesmere Port is something from such a small town. Certainly deserves a mention in dispatches even if I do restrict the overall findings to post 1960.
Yes I like that line about drawing a line at 1960!! Brilliant....ffs, might have to draw a line at 1960.
i was thinking about John Willie Parker. In the late 70s I played for a team managed by Dave Hickson for a season. Very quiet, modest man.
He was quite shy, but equally a bit nuts when it came to playing. Regardless, he wasn’t talkative but he told me a few times that J W Parker was the best he played with. A genius. I looked him up and his goalscoring record is outstanding.
Dave said the two of them should’ve played for England but selection was by committee and they weren’t the right type. Dave is high-profile but JW Parker must’ve been some footballer.
Stan Cullis also came from there famous England centre half and manager of Wolves when they won the FA cup in 1949, Kevin Lewis was another, he was Liverpool’s highest transfer fee before they bought St. John....gentleman Joe Mercer.

yes he did come from the mackets lane estate in Halewood. I know evertonians who tried to get a date with his sister so they could get info on him and EvertonDavid Johnson ( scored for both sides in derbies )

An interesting fact about Johnson is that he scored in everyone of his debuts,David Johnson ( scored for both sides in derbies )

I lived in the area at the time of winning the league in 69/70. At that time it was rumoured that Tommy lived in the first house, next to what was then the Aigburth Hotel (the pub was knocked down for road widening), almost opposite Liverpool Cricket Club. I occasionally had a bevvy in the 'Aigy' but never saw Tommy at all. Albert Dunlop has been mentioned - Garston lad, possibly from 'under the bridge' as it's known (Banks Road area). He was pre & post 1960 and first EFC goalie I saw when I was a kid. John Gidman went to our junior school for a year (Duncombe Road which became Gilmour), he was a year younger but even at 9 or 10 was an excellent player. His next school was Springwood I think so he probably lived around Garston/Allerton. Last I heard about him he was living on the Costa del Sol....thanks for confirming but it has been mentioned. I (wrongly) threw the Garston spanner in the works, I think he went on to work at Garston Docks and his local was near Liverpool Cricket Club in the Southend,
Derek Temple - Dovecot?Plenty of banter on here regarding North and South Liverpool, but I was just discussing with @Dario Terracotta Everton players from his neck of the woods (Southport, Formby etc) and it got me wondering which Merseyside district has produced most Everton players.
For starters, Norris Green/Croxteth gave us England internationals Joe Royle, Wayne Rooney and Franny Jeffers.

....I have Fazakerley in mind for Colin Harvey and Stuart Barlow. I think Tommy Wright is a Garston lad.
Not sure if Tony Grant and Aiden Maher can be added to the Norris Green list. Tom Davies around the corner from me in West Derby.

Colin Harvey is from Bootle. I spoke to him in a pub in Town Green a few years back and when i mentioned I was from Bootle, he said he was as well, Alexandra Drive Off Orrell Lane. May have gone to school in Fazakerley like, it's not far.
