Garry Stanley who played for us in the late 70's early 80's today reaches the big 60. Anybody remember him getting sent off in the Anfield Derby?
Happy Birthday fella, enjoy your big day

Yes I was there.

At least we stood up to the RS in those days even if they were better than us. Great to see Bob Latchford squaring up with Souness.

Finished 2-2 .Recall us scoring an offside equaliser and Mick Lyons scoring an own goal by lobbing George Wood from the half way line!

Garry was a skilful player but never imposed himself on enough games.

Agreed, he had a bit of a stuttering start here but became a blue that day throwing a few hooks at McDermott (I think).

Terrible times in the derby's though never known games so close going the way of the opposition so often. At least that game I got tickets for annie rd rather than the effin' kop, the day Fairclough come on and scored with a few mins left to win as me and the lads stood motionless amid mayhem in the kop will forever be a picture of hell.

Thank god for Andy King at Goodison.
 

Bit before my time but how boss was that shirt?

Nearly bought the retro one in the sale but it's not quite the same without the umbro stuff
 
I don't remember him being sent off, too far back in the mists of time. I do remember a big thing being made about Everton signing a cockney/soft southerner, how times have changed.

Ii sat in the stand opposite main stand with my mate who is a red.We met up with his dad ,another red,after game to get lift home. I remember he was fuming about our offside goal and I just laughed at him so he wound his window up and he got my head lodged in the window. I saw him few months ago just before he died and we had a laugh about it.
Happy days,or not really.
 
Never seen the goals from that derby match, must been on Youtube somewhere, would love to see the scrap too!
 

Am I right in thinking that was the first occasion in which players were sent off in a Mersey derby?

If not that game, it was a derby around that time.

Contrast that to the PL era, when it has been the fixture with most sendings off since Sky re-invented the game.

As for Garry himself, IMO he was one of the worst players to play for us in the 70s.....and that is saying sommat :(

Trying to identify our players.


I think the 5 is Billy Wright and the 8 is Garry himself...

I think that might be Mick Lyons holding Big Bob back.

The goalie is Georgie Wood.

Is that King Andy wearing 6 that might be Eamon O'Keefe in between Georgie and Mick?

The boy keeping well out of it over on the wing.....Imre Vardi?
 
In one of the autobiographies either Sharpy or Colin Harveys. They talk about a really poor team performance in a reserve game. The manager is giving a rollicking to the players, when Stanley having skipped from the team meeting emerges from the shower asking if 'he can borrow a hairdryer?' He was subsequently sold quickly to Swanses.

I reckon 5 is Mark Higgins, 6 is Trevor Ross, and the one in between George Wood and Mick Lyons is Andy King? Very right of the picture is Hansen running in to join in, and finally the one in the distance in between Bob Latchford and Souness - Brian Kidd?
