"When you've been touched by football clubs; when you've represented them, when you've played for them when you've managed them...they're always there with you, they never change. But, I've got to say...I'm an Evetonian."

RIP Bally, can add nothing more to what's already been said, my favourite all time player.

Still Cant beleive we sold him to Arsenal, because Catterick didnt like the idea he was having more influence at the club than him

Complete all round footballer.
Could even control the ball with his backside.
Best English even British footballer in my time.
God bless bally

LCAB, I remember a game, I was just a kid in the upper Gwladys when he took the ball to the Gwlad / Bullens corner and sat on the ball. What game was that?

 

[BigFred#9]

51 years and counting in my lifetime following Everton, and for me Bally is still the best I have seen in a blue shirt. Absolutely awesome. It never mattered how good the opposition were- we had Bally in our side.
RIP
