Who was captain when you went to your first match?

[PITA]

Ha ha, no! After his time. John Bailey at left-back that day (could’ve been his debut), and in midfield someone who’s a prime candidate for one of those threads about players you’d forgotten had turned out for Everton, Colin Todd.

I remember watching Todd play for Everton. He was a Rolls Royce of a player. Always wished we’d bought him in his prime. I also remember seeing Pejic play for us. Both around the same time. Latchford, Thomas, Ross, King, Dobson. Can’t believe that team didn’t win a trophy.

Everton v Villa, second replay of the league cup final at Old Trafford.

Managed to get a ticket from my uncle who sponsored Everton at the time.

We got beat 3-2, I remember one of their defenders scoring an absolute cracker and Brian Little dancing around David Lawson to score.

ah well !

Fortunately it was Kev the rats in the 80’s

And not Phil the rat in the 2000’s
Like my poor son

Tommy Jones in 1959. Think it was his first season as captain. Not a great team but still great experience for a 10 year old!!

Todd was fantastic,the best sweeper in the old first division.......so we played him at right back!!

Yep, that team was incredible, and incredibly unlucky. Going toe-to-toe with the [Poor language removed] on a level, Clive Thomas, that Villa final. I tell my lads they’ve got it easy!

Ratters for me 1-1 with Sheff wed - the game where marwood took out inchy and then Reidy nailed - best bit of retribution I’ve ever seen on a footy pitch

Sunderland. I think Labone was captain. Ball and Morrisey the goal scorers in a 2 0 win. Ball was amazing. Colin Todd was in the Sunderland team. As said previously, he was a fantastic player. Even as a nine year old boy I could see what good footballers Ball and Todd were.!

Asked me dad tonight.

26th Jan 1980
Beat Wigan in the Cup 3-0.
Mick Lyons.

Then he says “you don’t remember Mick phoning up and speaking to you on the phone I take it !?”

FFS.

Kevin Ratcliffe - charity shield in 1985 at Wembley. Bought my Everton kit and scalpers tickets outside the ground. My girlfriend was MU but luckily we were at the Everton end and she was ok because we’re all gentlemen. Win to Everton 2-0. Think Kevin Sheedy got one.

Fall of 2014 was when I was living in Liverpool for a few months, so I think would be Jagielka.

Dave Watson, first game I went to was a 1-1 draw in the league cup vs York City.

I was 10, so I don't remember if Watson played and captained the team that day though.

Danny Cadamtri scored our goal.

First watch, Don't even remember it to be honest, was Everton 0 Charlton 3

Can't seem to find who was captain but i'd Guess Unsworth or Wier?

I hunted down the line up that day, just wanted to see, it was back when the only way I could keep up with Everton scores at the time was watching Teletext scores.update haha.

Your right, looking at that line up likely Weir was captain

Brian Labone

Brian Labone in April 1969, I was 6 and we won 3-0.
