RIP
RIP - under 23 Captain for England - most younger fans went mad about John stones - this guy ex CF was brilliant Labbys legs what a defensive partnership - He was miles better than Stones - should have got a full cap - drove into midfield & scored some great goals too - you only missed him when he was injured & not playing to realise what an asset he was to us in his pomp - RIP to all his family a sad day -
He was that good mate better than John Stones cost us nothing born in Blackpool an academy player - wore no 10 , but played a duel CH role with Captain Labone - he broke into midfield often & often scored so fast & brilliant in the air - an ex CF plus our first no 12 as a substitute scored in that game, but the referee disallowed it by blowing the final whistle to stop us winning 2-1 at Stoke away ....
As a lad My late father took me to the pit - he was MOTM in a 0-0 draw he marked a certain top player in Roger Hunt out of the game Bally hit a post - my late father was well impressed with him - he will be great for us, he stated & he certainly was - RIP to a quiet individual under 23 captain for England - he did his talking on the pitch -RIP

First game of the season. I was in the Clock end. He also scored in the next game away at Man Utd in mid week - 2-0 win. Managed to get to every game that season and we won the League! I was also at the Youth Cup Final game at Goodison against Arsenal in '65. RIP Hursty. X
FGS - show some respect....
Are you an Evertonian mate? Because "if you know our history, it's enough to make your heart go etc"
John Hurst's name should be known to all blues. I know of Roy Vernon, Mick Meagan. Jimmy Gabriel, Dixie Dean and Sandy Brown. All way before my time but still know what they did for us

Another instalment of <em>Real Footballers' Wives</em> featuring Rosemary Hurst, wife of former Everton striker, John.
Here he is chatting about the 69/70 championship season.
Sad news.
He scored in the first game I ever watched at GP in 1969
RIP to a class act.

As an aside,I'm sure that was the first game Mr Shankley attended after retiring,the Gwladys Street started singing a popular chart hit of the day," hey rock and roll,Shankleys on the dole"
He was Mr Dependability. A perfect double act with Labby but also the ability to power out of defence and set play up for the Holy Trinity. He weighed in with vital goals too ghosting up front. Condolences to John's family and friends...may he rest in peace.
