I begs to differ, Eggs.
I would say Mick was a better stopper centre half than Derek Mountfield from the 80's team.
And I would have Mick at his best over both Jags and Disdin at theirs.
Much underrated is Mick Lyons, IMO.

Lyons for England!!!
On topic though one thing that amazed me at the time about the Plymouth game was I think we took a couple of planes too!!! Unheard of at the time.
And then yes lost to Fulham. There is a picture of viv Busby in the old everton pictures thread. Iirc his wife was RS which rubbed our noses in it too. Second division sigh.

Brings back memories, cheers @Dario Terracotta . The Plymouth tie was my first ever away game, the train had those old compartment carriages with six seats in. Really enjoyed the trip and couldn't get over the amount of blues at the game. Typical Everton to lose to Fulham in the next round like . Koff Busby.

Have you got a copy of the absolutely iconic picture of him celebrating his equaliser against Villa at the OT league cup final reply? Close range header or shot near the end of ordinary time iirc. 110% passion for the team he truly loved. I felt like crying when I saw it the next day. Just not quite enough....summed up the 70s for us!
Happy days,not seen this!
Another one too,Henrys 'ammer
Great memories of two games I went to. The Plymouth day out was another example of our amazing travelling support.
If memory serves me correctly, they took 5 special trains to Ipswich while we took 11 or 12 to Plymouth.

Brilliant Dario. Notice forward passing, players running into space, crosses, players shooting and scoring, brings back memories. None of that wiki waka football style of RM's.

Clive Thomas the ref, what a p***k. For the younger ones, he was the Clattenberg of the 70s
I remember a cup replay versus City at Maine Road that we lost but Mike Lyons worked his backside off. Think we were 2-1 down when John Gidman hurt his wrist and turned to the skipper as though to say, "I want treatment, it hurts" and Mike Lyons glared at him and yelled, "it's only your f***ing hand, Shut up and get on with it."
Me and my mate Gareth sat in the front row of the Platt Lane seats getting soaked in the rain, were howling laughing.

For younger ones, Thomas was wayyyyy worse than clattenberg cos he knew what he was doing, whereas Clattenberg is just a clown.

They were at the end of their careers though. Fulham were in the 2nd Division.
