For the old boys!!!!

I think around that time Big Mick was used as a striker,later on when he moved back to centre half if we needed a goal 10/15 minutes to go Lyonsy would get pushed up to cause some havoc

I just noticed he had number 10 on his shirt, how times change.

 

[The Esk]

They sure did.

West Ham beat them.

I think it was a bloke called Mitchell done the damage against us at Goodison.

Viv Busby mate......

45,233 there

Viv Busby mate......

He was a coach in HK's third term too.

Looks like we took their end there.

I was at the game in Plymouth,we were on one of 20 trains left Lime st between 03-00 and 08-00,great days,bit unsure about actual times, maybe someone else can correct me, Oh yes nearly forgot, on the same day our dear red neighbours also left on trains to Ipswich on half the amount of trains

Yeah - though seem to remember John Hurst used to wear #10 as well.

Sad footnote to that game......Fulham beat us at home in the next round

2.1 I think the score was.
I remember Roger Kenyon scoring with a header.

Fulham were in the old 2nd Division, and yes they got to the final & lost 2.0 to West Ham

...Viv Busby might have been in that side. Could be completely wrong.

Peter Mellor in goal, still can remember his nearly white hair!

...and me, that's a distinct memory for me after going to that game.

The old, push Mick Lyons upfront tactic, happy days. He was decent though.

...have to be honest that I wasn't a big fan of Mick as a player. Couldn't fault his effort but the fact that we threw him up top was a real sign of our lack of forward power. Hope we never have to return to that strategy.

Viv Busby.....of course.

I recall Fulham running out in that AC Milan kit and thinking "what the heck".

There was no colour clash and it was way before the era of live TV games and teams trying to push replica away strips on viewers.

I loved Mick.

He would have ran through a brick wall for us.

Remember the goal he scored against Leeds.....when he dived headlong into a forest of Leeds legs to head a goal down the Park End?

....I can understand the affection, Khalekan, but he wouldn't have got anywhere near the good teams that we had. I disliked the 'throw Mick up front days'.

Remember him at Burnley. Team mate of Dave Thomas & Dobbo

I was there v Fulham - Di the dragan Davis positioning for both goals was awful - Roger Kenyon was from Huyton a very good centre half!
