Boss, boss, player, and what a hard case too! Much though I liked Pat Van Den Hauwe, had he played against Moggsy and elbowed him or the like, he would never have finished the game conscious!

Morrissey was top of the list in jack Charlton's little black book

I've got mates who have seen every Everton game home & away over many seasons. Sadly I can't match them but I did attend every match home and away in the 69/70 season and for that I will always be thankful - a season I will never forget!

I seem to recall Moggsy threatenEd to stick Jack’s little black book up his crack!

Easter Saturday iirc when we destroyed Chelsea at home to set up the West Brom game midweek! And came home delirious after the clincher to be allowed to stay up and see the highlights of the Celtic Leeds European Cup semi final!!! Eating chips and drinking cream soda until about 11pm on a school night!!! Nirvana for the soon to be 11 Allezlesbleus!!!!

Aren't those attendances much lower than the real figures?
I'm not old enough to know but have read that clubs often announced much lower attendance figures to avoid paying tax on the full total?
I think someone on here was saying how a favourite joke for him and his mates was to laugh at the attendence figures announced at half time.

Yeah, you're probably right. I know they announced lower than the actual attendance in the 80s.

Okish but too much money maybe?

Not our greatest signing by far but I do remember him putting in a good shift against Villa in the replay at Hillsborough 77.Was virtually playing on one leg in extra time due to injury.

I was 12 years old that season, and never missed a home game.

It was quite common back then to pay for one, and two could squeeze in through the turnistile. It was usually followed by a quip "See you later Harry" as they flew into the ground!

same here went to many away games within reason too - with my older brother who paid for me.....

The last home game V WBA - 58,000 it was nearly a lock out so I would add another 5000 to that figure my family got in the park end just 1 hour before kick off..... ques were everywhere not all ticket either, parking was horrendous.....even in those days.....

still expensive as @Dario Terracotta stated with our transfer money we got for Bally.....

Was at that game13 at the time, use to go the games on my own back then, get the 12or 12A from page moss to lower breck rd and walk down daunting times, the walk back even worse. Remember getting into the Annie road end early found a big space behind a crush barrier thought great this will do for me it was only when the crowd surged forward and I got crushed against the barrier that I realised why there was a big space, learnt my lesson though.

Yes always get in front of the barrier not behind it, a hard lesson most of us learned by getting our chests nearly caved in.

1970 was a magnificent year for the world. A truly special year.

1969-70 was a great season as were the two title winning seasons in the 1980’s but 1962-3 was the best of the lot for me, team and the football.

Yep,that was his best performance, true grit that night, also remember him flicking the v's when getting sent off v AC Milan at Goodison lol

£140K and we sold Bally,yep Bally for 80k more,absolute madness Joey.

Only Everton could replace Alan Ball with an overweight utility man - he was slow in midfield and even slower at right-back - who had a penalty saved by, of all people, Bobby Moore. Bobby Moore!

I have proof:
