ALEX YOUNG RIP

[tadao]

RIP The Golden Vision.

 

[SailorBlue]

I can't think of any other player who had been a league & cup winner in Scotland outside of the Old Firm, and then a league and cup winner in England.

Hope Hearts give him a good send off as well.

My dad was also a big fan of Alex. RIP

There will only be a few of us left who bore witness to The Golden Vision but as long as there are Evertonians the legend will endure.

Rest in Peace.

 

[Bluerover]

RIP Alex.

Your career at Goodison ended just before I was old enough to be chosen as an Evertonian - that came in 1969!!

God Bless!!

My dear dad's favourite, he'll walk straight into our 'heaven eleven.'

Great player.
R.I.P The Golden Vision.

 

[tommytowne]

A giant indeed.
He was the legend I knew of before my first game back in 1963.
An absolute hero of mine who's performances will live with me for ever, one in particular against Manchester United.
RIP.

[blue to the bone]

Part of our history . Part of the fabric.
People like him are why we are a great club and why we always will be.
Rip The golden vision

 

[magicjuan]

Legend in the fullest sense of word.

Met him once, I couldn't say anything, I just stood there gawping.

RIP.

Fabulous footballer, terrific feet but also excellent ( and very underrated) in the air! Brilliant header of the ball!

 

[Bluebonic]

Just rang my dad and he was crying

I remember watching that Official History of Everton FC video (or similar name) that came out circa mid-80s, and the part that mesmerised me the most was when this player from the glorious 60s side was covered, and his name of The Golden Vision.

I was hooked, and whenever you speak to older fellas who saw him in the flesh they say nothing compares to his brilliance.

A sad day for our club. Hope he rests easily up there.
