Old Everton Pictures

It wouldn't be Rod Belfitt? Or maybe a player called Bates who was with Leeds at around that time. Or as you say.......Peter Lorimer. Doesn't look like Giles though....

Not Rod Belffit as the player is running

Something to cheer us up as we await our first incoming transfer?
Was in the kop that day. That team with linaker should have done the double that year not them

This should have been the result that made the championship ours. After the 30 games played at that stage we led by 8 pts. The RS had virtually given up on winning the league and Dalgleish set about experimenting with line ups and tactics eg Molby brought back into the side as a centre-back. I can remember them playing at Spurs ( TV game I think) in their next game and not being remotely concerned when they scored a last minute winner. They went on to win all their remaining games bar one draw. Unfortunately our run in was distinctly average for the quality we had, winning only 7 of the remaining dozen games.
To then lose the Cup Final as well was devastating. In both the league and in the Final we were the better side. I can recall Terry Venables after the Cup Final saying it was unbelievable that the best team in the country had not won at least one of the trophies.
So, even then, with a side that feared no one, certainly no sign of an inferiority complex with regard to the RS, we did an Everton.

Always remember coming out of the “deep end”that day,two senior rednoses talking saying it was their worst side since their second division days,three months later they had the double

We had a bit of luck against B Moenchengladbach - Rankin's "save" should never have stood - he was close enough to the penalty taker to kiss him! Other times, the luck was out as you say. But, the bitter truth for me is that there wasn't enough quality in the team, or as back up, to get us over the line, despite the big names that we still had.

I know that people talk about the possibly bent refereeing in Greece but maybe they forget how laboured we were against them at Goodison.

As for Old Trafford - we could have gone in at half time 2 - 0 up but for the fact that Whittle tried a speculative shot (to be kind) instead of passing to an unmarked Bally in the centre.

In the 49th. minute, Labone went off, Sandy took his place and we were truly the goose that was cooked.

For me, it's not "Everton that" - just a lack of good investment in the squad and a couple of guys who were showing their age. But what do I know!

we hit the post twice in normal time so imo we deserved to win that night the 1-1 away game was a great result - we should have lifter the trophy that season imo -

Yeah, the 1 - 1 was a great result. The return, for me, not so much. The Panathinaikos game was grim - again, for me.

Could we have won it? Who knows?! Guessing Ajax with Neeskens and Cruyff would have posed one or two problems ...

Nice Jim Jams worn by Labby here typical 1960,s ones -

I did think it was hotshot Lorimer at first...but I think it is their squad player Mick Bates.
