An altogether different breed that generation and one that should be cherished by us all, not ignored, shoved into corners or treated like children! Nothing i like more than listening to the likes of my old man (84) talking about the 40's and 50's, the emergence of Everton as the millionaires and the rise of the school of science. Bless them all, Pat will be necking a bottle of porter with Dean, Lawton and Troop right now!

Yep mate,I cherish my conversations about everything and Everton with my old fella,tap into his memories,the oldies are the fabric of our club,we should all take our elder Evertonians memories on board for the days after they have left us.

Lovely eulogy, I'm sure he'd be proud of you for posting it. RIP, Pat.

I've taken the liberty of downloading the 1962/63 Champions photo you posted. I think it's the colour version of the monochrome one that was on the side of the packet of Typhoo Tea my mum bought home from the shops in 1963, when I became an 11 year-old Evertonian. Every time I post from now on it'll be a reminder of your Uncle Pat.

Very well written.

Sorry for your loss mate.

Lovely tribute mate. Have to say I'm quite moved reading that. There's something magical listening to the old timers tales, can't be many left who remember Dixie, Mercer and Lawton.
RIP Pat and condolences to all your family.

Thanks for your comments, guys. As I say, he was no holy joe. His farts were legendary - could have rented them out to NATO. If his horse didn't come in, as kids, we used to hide ... and the air would be blue. Because his dad had served in the English army in WW1, they paid for him and his bros to go to the old SFX schiil but he was no academic.

No one's hero. But the right stuff.
