I've heard all sorts of rumours as to why this Everton "GOD" left our beloved team. There was talk of gambling debts, Harry Catterick thought it was good buisness to sell a player for double to what they paid but who knows, i've even hear that Bally cried when he left Everton

The rule with white boots is if you wear them you have to be sh1t hot, hence the reason i wear black ones

No. Bally LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE who played for England In Mexico- had a poor season the year after . Catt' panicked an' took the London Lucre . Doubling his money . It was without doubt THE WORST piece of business in Everton History .

Look at us 2 . 40 years later . Still fukn crying about it .

Bally cried on leaving too ,...
