Didn't realise there was that much criticism to it at the time it was broadcast. It was probably the religious content the councillors and the rest objected to.

It was the 1960s and Liverpool the city was trying to bin all that...or bury it, whatever way you look at it.

The most adored EFC player even above bally I ever seen - yet his partner Roy Vernon was a far more consistent player - even in his stats Derek temple as a goal scorer was not far behind him - his flaxen hair his skill levels were on his day unbelievable on muddy pitches ...

He played in a charity game at South Liverpool April 1969, my uncle was the ref and got us all free tickets. I don’t remember much other than Ken Dodd pushing Dixie in a wheelbarrow to take the kick-off. Just found this via google

One of the scenes that struck me was the priest paying a visit to the house to ask why they were not attending church. Did that happen often at that time?

Yeah it did remember vividly the priest coming to the house when I was a kid, my uncle who lived with us at the time hated the church and would always walk into the kitchen when he came.
