Not a bad forward line for the Army. Howard Riley, Peter Dobing and John Barnwell all had long careers in football. Gerry Hitchens went on to play for England and later on had a great career in Italy. One of the few English players who made it abroad.

I watched the Austria v Netherlands game earlier. It was like they were playing another sport entirely.

I’m reliably informed that Dyche was “ gutted “ when Wharton signed for Palace. He’d been hoping to sign him for a while.

Dyche had been tracking Wharton before he came to Everton. No money to buy him though. Palace have got the bargain of the season there. I said ages ago - the new Colin Harvey.

I told you last season - the new Colin Harvey. You could have signed him, Dyche was really keen.

Great body shape on that header as always with Fred.

No Big Fred ? A travesty.

I was at the Burnley v United game that afternoon. Andy Lochead got 4 goals and Paddy Crerand got sent off for punching the smallest Burnley player on the pitch ( Ian Towers ).

That must be against Burnley. A young David Thomas ( No 7 ) ?

The photo is from a Spurs game. John Ryden and Mel Hopkins on the right.

The Spurs player is Maurice Norman, the England centre half at the time.

The lad third from the right is George Morton, he later moved to Rochdale were I saw him many times. A skilful inside forward.

Looks like the white paint is wearing off the “ Adidas “ boots. Was it “ Hummel “ that brought out his white boots ?

That Cup Final was the only time I’ve ever had a dream about a game the next day. I dreamt Everton won 4-0. So I put my tiny wedge on Everton. I had to stay in at night that weekend !

You were tracking the “ new Colin Harvey “ for two years and then he goes to Crystal Palace.

Wharton’s going to be a top, top player. Palace have got a real bargain there. He could have been the new Colin Harvey.

I watch more lower level rugby league now. Honest lads running their blood to water for around £300 a week. Then clocking in on Monday morning to do a days work. Most soccer players wouldn’t last 5 minutes.

White painted “ AdIdas “ boots. Apparently he didn’t like the white “ Hummel “ boots he was contracted to wear.

Those “ Puma “ boots were my first proper pair of football boots. What an improvement from the previous old fashioned ones I had.
