Billy Bingham November 95

[SuperBlues]

If you ever get a chance to see it there is a very good play, a one man show to be exact, called “A Night In November” which deals with the circumstances surrounding that infamous night in Windsor Park.

As with any play/film/book based on an event some truths are slightly stretched to make it that bit more interesting or controversial.

Is it too much to expect that Bingham would now apologise for what he did. It would go down very well with everyone.

He's now in his nineties and even if any of this story is actually true (Lots of speculative punts in here including the initial post) what are the chances of him having clear recollection? I didn't like the guy when he was here as manager but also at his age wouldn't like to see him facing what is akin to a gathering lynch mob either.

As an aside to this story, when he first came to Everton I worked on his house in birkdale as an apprentice painter and decorator. His wife used to follow us around the house rearranging our dust sheets and putting newspapers down, proper pissed us off. Never seen him tho and we were there for weeks

I think Billys prime years as a player were at Sunderland and Luton.By all accounts though, he was still a fine player for Everton.According to Ivon Pontings Everton player by player, he could still outrun the opposing full back, send in a dangerous cross, and chip in with his share of goals.He was a tough bit of stuff as well.A typical uncompromising Ulster man.Like it or not Billy Bingham is a part of Everton history.He played with a Dubliner, in that early 60's Everton side as well Mick Meagan.As for Jack Charlton.Jack did a lot for football south of the border, but he's not an Evertonian.Jack Charlton was a dirty rugged centre back, in Don Revies reviled loathed and detested Leeds United side.

Not only that but he insults our intelligence by quoting from a history book on absolutely everything and despite being a young lad he remembers everything from the 50's until present and despite never going to an Goodison or Ibrox game by his own admission he can compare the atmosphere at Everton and Rangers to Stadiums around the globe, very bizarre IMO.
