Happy birthday to George Wood 68 today. A very popular figure amongst the Everton faithful back in the day.

Bit like Pickford, in that he had a good start to his Everton career but then started making bloomers. Will never forgive him for putting me through the ringer for the last quarter of an hour or so of that final day relegation game against Coventry by just pushing a soft Dublin header into his own net.

Who would do better in goal? Jordan or George?

I reckon George Wood.

Oh aye. Lost it. lol . My point comparing him with Pickford still valid though.

Had an outstanding game at Anfield in a 0-0 draw. Also a snowball fight he had with the Wolves fans at Molyneux!

Had a lot more good games than bad ones, but that is not enough to be a great keeper. Still have nightmares over a 4-4 game v Newcastle at Goodison.
IIRC he used to have a stinker when he knew the Scottish manager had come down to check him out, Ally MacLeod ?
Still...better than Pickford. Happy birthday George!
