Bob Latchford

[summerisle]

Interview starting now, should be worth a listen.

 

[Eggs]

....never a bad word heard or read about Latchford, not many you can say that about.

 

[mrb85]

A truly great striker. And a lovely fella. And, I contest, the first man to climb on to pitchside railings in celebration of a goal (WHU SF at Elland Rd).

 

[tommye]

Still adore him 40 something years after he became my first Everton hero.

[Dario Terracotta]

I'm sure his first goals for us were against his old club Birmingham with his brother Dave in goal for them,we won 4-1 think Latch got two as did Big Mick who played up front that day,I remember as a kid coming away from the ground quite enthralled about this new Duo!!!

I always thought Bob Latchford was brilliant; him with Dave Thomas on the wing. Never managed to score for us against Liverpool if I remember correctly, then only went and scored against them when he left Everton and joined Swansea City

​

Absolutely spot on knowledge that is, yes very true, never scored against that lot for us, but never forget him being put clean through in last minute at Anfield Road end and put it straight into Clemence hands.
Big Bob my first hero as a kid, great memories, got on the pitch at the end of the Chelsea 30 goals game too, I think half the Street End did.

 

[PhilM]

He could time his movement and runs with the best of them!

 

[hallamblue]

My first proper team. Had some heroes in there, Mick Lyons, Bob Latchford and my favourite Duncan McKenzie. The rs won trophies but we played the greatest football, usually ending with Bob sticking it in the net!

Correct, Dario.

I always wish Billy had signed Bob Hatton along with Big Bob.

They were a lethal combination at Blues.
