Great player that he was, it wasn't always plain sailing...
Here's Mick demonstrating, in April 1973, all the co-ordination of a giraffe on ice:

Bah humbug - to turn off the snow, visit your preferences and select a style that isn't Christmas.

Sat next to him on a train from Euston years ago, the train was running dead slow and we were both whingeing about it. I said to him "You remind me of a player who used to play for my team" he looked at me and said "I am that player" and offered me his hand. "Mick" he said as he shook my hand, "Mick Lyons" made me laugh he did. I asked him if he enjoyed it at Everton and he said "Everton was weird for me, in one way it the was best time of my life, in others the worst" how come says I "That team should have won silverware" he said!

Lives in the Hale area I think...he did a few years ago. Does some radio now and again. Just collects his royalties every Christmas I suppose.
F off Jaycee that monster wasn't a English bull terrier it was a pick and mix, it was nearly as big as a Labrador. Imagine a black Labrador with a big English bull terrier's head stuck on it.
It was a scary dog that, especially when you gave it a skin head and spray painted on it.
Pejic was my fav player at that time.

One of my mates seen him in the city center last month! Slade are playing on Saturday but he isnt in them so im off to The Selecter instead
Counting the royalties on his Christmas record...he said the month of December is like a (not so) little pension and sets him up for the year.

Mike Pejic and Dave Thomas, what a combination. My first Everton team, Mike was right we should have won something, especially in 1977.
Along with Jim Lea the base player who co wrote it both retired - the others play on tour!
Slade are decent even without him seen them a few years ago, not as good as with him in but still good

An obtuse reference to the time Thomas cheated us out of cup final place?
Pejic on that: "The first game (2-2) I thought we outplayed Liverpool that day, the ball was cut in from the by line, Hamilton knocked it in. I was the closest player to Clive Thomas who gave offside. If you watch a recording of it on the TV, you see me shout at him. On the spot he changed his mind. The linesman was running back and Thomas changed his mind to hand ball and that's why I ran after him. He cheated us no question.
After the game he had the audacity to come into our changing room and start talking to the players. I told him to get lost, I gave him a right bashing.
The next match (Replay) on the Wednesday it was the same officials.
David Johnson (Liverpool) went up for a ball in our box and Dave used to go up early and hang. I went up straight, made contact with the ball and Thomas gave a penalty against me which was never a penalty which I believe was because I had a go at him on the pitch on the Saturday and after in the dressing room."

from Wikipedia: "In 2015 it was estimated that the song generates £500,000 of royalties per year. It has been credited with popularizing the annual race for the UK Christmas #1 single"
