Thanks for that mate. What beautiful footwork from Young for the Third, what a work horse Ball was.
Imagine him at his peak 4 or 5 yrs previously
I usually use this clip to illustrate how good Vernon was, but there's some nifty footwork, good anticipation and a cool finish from Young

Wow! Womderful stuff.
....David and I played lots of representative schoolboy and youth football together. Needless to say, he didn’t even reach half my 25 goals in 19 competition games the season we played for Liverpool Schoolboys U15 but he went onto a career in the game. Nice memories, though.
Think of a famous Liverpool manager......
The caption says it is?
The old misleading caption thing, I do believe we've had more than one or two of these before now
Yes but this was in a whole chapter in the book about Tommy Wright maybe he was a young reserve ? He was a forward converted to right back by the Catt....
Lets ask the audience...
Without getting into the whole Lawson / Bernard Mk I. thing we had going a few years(?) ago. The jumper has facial elements of a West nearing the end of his career.

In Mexico '70 I think Tommy had to share the right back position with Keith Newton in the opening group game, Keith could also play at left backCirca 1969. Everton and England right back Tommy Wright, at Goodison Park. -
as he did when playing for Everton, if I remember rightly. In that World Cup (Which was commonly said The Best Ever World Cup) .
If West had have agreed to travel, If Kendal had not been so cruelly overlooked, If Tony Kay would have been an honest man .
That England Teamsheet Quarter -Final V West Germany could have read NUMBERS 1 TO 7
Gordon West.
Tommy Wright. Keith Newton.
Howard Kendal. Brian Labone. Tony Kay.
Alan Ball. ( Alan Whittle) ( Joe Royle) (Jimmy Husband) (Johnny Morrissey)
The parenthesis players were put in for fun, but we also had in the squad John Hurst, David Johnson & Colin Harvey & more................
Is it any wonder that we won the League that year.
We had a chairman with money to spend and he loved our team.
We had a marvellous manager and backroom staff.
We had great fans then as we have now.
We have now 6 Months of nothing to do until next season.
We need £100M for a first class goalscoring centre-forward and right back, we and the powers that be have known this for 12 Months.
I'm sure you're right with Wright, and it's good spotting for Jimmy Husband I think. The only thing that I am sure about is the semi-detached that
Jimmy is looking at through his legs, is the house opposite to where Shankley lived on Bellefield Avenue, West Derby.
...Bob Paisley.
