Why Everton in an away strip I wonder?…lot’s of dodgy ‘touched up’ pics here with the colours 🙂 still great though. I had a mate who was Alan Ball mad and quite upset when he was sold to Arsenal…so much so that he started following The Gunners then…he was also quite upset when the Baggies beat them in the FA Cup Final 1968…Astle Is The King!
They had some class players Everton, Kendall, Husband, Tommy Wright, Colin Harvey, Alan Whittle who I think went to Palace later, Brian Labone, Joe Royle…I think they won the league in this season.
Gordon West their keeper was a good keeper but unable to stop Astle’s rocket of a shot…there was a great song the Brummie Road used to sing as well…
‘The cymbals clang, the big drum bangs the Albion are playing away,
Gordon West in the Everton net is having a poxy day,
Astle scored once, Catterick got the sack,
And we’d won the FA Cup we’re running round the track…
Tra laa la la, Tra laa la la la, la la la la la la la la la…:-)
They don’t write them like that anymore lol 🙂
