Was sitting in the main stand in September '68. WBA had, of course, beaten us in a horrible match where Husband missed a sitter having taken the place of Youngy.

Two of my gods took centre stage and destroyed them. Bally scored 2 and then Harvey, in a moment of brilliance, took the ball from halfway in our half towards the Street End. He didn't score many, as you guys will know, but when he did, they were worldies. He baffled three or four of those midland grocks and smacked it in. Bally then scored fourth.

We didn't win the league that season but, my God, the togger was sublime. It was a golden afternoon in September.

Especially galling because we beat them twice in the league prior to the cup final, 6-2 at their place so the 4 goals in the game you mentioned really showed us what might have/ should have been. That was classic Alan Ball in that game, revenge of the highest order.

How completely privileged were we to witness them?!

Slightly ahead of my actually watching the Blues in the flesh, but I love memories like this, particularly of King Colin... my all-time favourite Blue ;)
 
Id go 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 to counter there big fella's plus there full backs are not going to push forward to double up on our wing backs

Joel
Holgate
Williams
Mori
Coleman
Gueye
Schneiderlin
Baines
Mirallas
Lukaku
Barkley
 
Everton to win 7-0 to go 7 points clear in 7th place. Lukaku to score first in the 7th minute. 7 minutes injury time because Tony Pulis loses his cap
 
...I wouldn't be surprised to see Lookman back for this. He hasn't really stamped himself on a full game yet, hopefully he comes in and makes a difference. Holgate might also be due another spin as long as the powers that be see his performance improving following a poor display at Stoke.
 
I am actually shocked to learn that Tony Pulis has once had an impressive head of hair.

I never really thought about it. I just assumed he was sort of bald and wore a cap throughout his childhood and teenage years as well.
