He was actually scoringWhat a great photo of Bally at Burnley in a key game in the championship run in - we won 2-1 in a cold snowy day at Turf Moore Burnley to think I and @T LEAFE sat in the Bob Lord stand with hot air blowing on our feet 60 odd years later would be posting photos on this great thread - { a young Martin Dobson in photo too...}
One of most important wins that season
My feet were so hot they were melting the 3 foot of snow when I left the ground.
It was a miracle the game was allowed to play...no way nowadays
….poor lady also passed away at a young age.

"Lad you bring the rizlas lad?"
i used to watch Unibond football & the CF was nickname Rizzla as his jump for the ball was that high - you could fit the Rizzla ciggie paper between his studs - he was a Peter Crouch type forward though scored some great goals .... but the ball did bounce of his shins a lot

Bob Latchford
Centre-forward
Centre-forward
1974-81
Bob Latchford is an Everton icon rivaled only by the like of
Alex Young
and
Duncan Ferguson
. A folk-hero centre-forward in the best Everton tradition Latch caught the national eye in the spring of 1978 when his crusade to become the first player in six years to score 30 goals in a First Division season grabbed all the headlines. The Daily Express set a £10,000 challenge and Latch needed two goals at home to Chelsea in the last game of the season which he did with a trademark header and a late penalty – boosting his win bonus by £10,000. In fact he went home with less than £200 of it after sharing it out between team-mates, ground-staff and charities. Many footballers of lesser ability have won more than Latchford. Besides his twelve England caps and those 30 goals in 1977-78, he achieved nothing of note in the game. That was an injustice to a fine footballer. Excelling particularly in the air, he was capable of scoring from anywhere. He had a striker's instinct for finding dangerous positions and his touch and ground-skills enabled him to make telling lay-offs for colleagues.....ask any 30+ Blue who there favorite ever Everton player was and the chances are they will say Latchford.....a true Everton Legend!
