Great work, Steve! My personal favorite is the late 60s era, when the strips were classic, the ground was at its majestic best, and we were still arguably the biggest club in the land. But people forget how good we were in the Dobson-Latchford era--unlucky not to win anything.
Brilliant, although i was home and away in the 80s ( still am ) I loveed the 70s going from boys pen to standing by fuzzy head in the st end it was great and we had some great players King Dobson Lyons Latchford Thomas Mackenzie probably Peter Shilton from winning the league.
Great posting Steve,I attended a lot of those that you posted.Hopefully Everton will Beat Bournemouth this Sunday to preserve our status as a premiership club...COYBS.
One of my schoolfriends brother played for Everton in the 70s and early 80s . Trevor Ross was his name . I even shared the same birthday as him 16th January.
Loved it. Really took me back. Good to see David Lawson, he was one of my favourites. And...Duncan McKenzie. Wadda man, truly gifted. He was the original Gazza.
Great Everton 1970's compilation!🤗 Have lived most of these from 1972-1973 season on the radio, through BBC World Service program Saturday Special. The presenter was Paddy Feeney, a great person, apart for being a Liverpool supporter!😉
John Morrissey Everton’s greatest no 11 , followed EVERTON all over the country in sixties along with thousands of fanatical evertonians with my mate franny Hayes . Jimmy poss Liverpool
Been going to Goodison since the late 1950s and always thought the line between success and failure was the width of a cigarette paper. After the demise of the 1970 championship side, two poor seasons followed, Then in 1974-75 Billy Bingham created a team that looked odds on the win the league title, but two bad defeats late on to Carlisle and home to Sheffield United cost them dearly. The confidence lift going into the European Cup. with the likes of Bob Latchford, Martin Dobson, and Gary Jones could have altered the 70s hierarchy. Gordon Lee also came close to Cup glory, Players like Bruce Rioch and Duncan Mc Kenzie were brought in by John Moore's just before Billy Bingham was sacked, who despite poor league form was in the league cup semi final they later took the blues close to an FA Cup final in 1977. What price the leadership of John Moore's today, during this sad period in the blues history.
Spot on mate. We were close in 77/78 too. But 74/75 eh? Beaten 3 times by two of the relegated teams. If we'd won it, then into the European Cup for 75/76 and who knows? Could have been a completely different narrative for us.
