Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Val P]

I actually thought you were the blonde lady doing the team news and getting the kids to give their ill informed score predictions but then realised that she didn't have a Wigan accent

I wish

Although not from Liverpool my Everton journey started in the 60’s, if ever asked why , well the long answer is complicated so I give the short one “ How could you not love a team who had a player called The Golden Vision ?”
I would say I hit my peak in the Catterick era and the 69/70 team and “ GordonwesttommywrightkeithnewtonHoward kendalbrian labone colinharveyjimmyhusband Alan balljoeyroyle johnnyhurst jonnymorrisseyHarryCatteric, ….Harrycattericharrycatteric Harry Catterick to the tune of Hare Krishna still trips off my tongue .! Those early ‘70s were a bit dire but I followed them home and away until moving south in 77 . Thereafter it was mainly away matches in London and the S East . The Kendall era was magnificent, but kids , family life and feeling definitely on edge exiting away grounds in a different direction from other Evertonians gradually reduced my live match attendance. But….once a Blue always a Blue , although for 5 minutes once I did contemplate turning, but that’s another story!

Loved that Hari Krishna chant. It trips seamlessly from my tongue too, (although I struggle to remember what I had for breakfast)
Personally I always include Sandy Brown rather than Kieth Newton though.

Yes indeed , I’ve had the Sandy Brown / Keith Newton conversation a few times , Sandy is obviously right too , I know Newton joined us half way through the League winning season so I think Brown played more games that season , Newton the next . I remember Sandy always had his own two liner of “ Who’s the player with the most? Sandy Brown with beans on toast!” Happy days !

I still remember the diving header that Sandy Brown scored for Liverpool against us at GP. A fantastic header that unfortunately went into his own goal…pillock…I can still see it now………,

Remember that well, and after the game Sandy was thumbing a lift I stopped and said which way you heading Sandy , he said don’t you start

Didn't he get sent off within the first minute of one match ?

That’s a scurrilous rumour, it was after about five minutes after he smacked a Leeds player…

Morning everyone on the last day of this horrible year, I can’t wait to see the back of it…….

Morning Pete. It has been a hard year for you but remember you have those season tickets for Bramley Moore to watch a new team under a new manager. It’s the little things I guess.

Today sees the start of taking down the Christmas decorations. What is a joyous task putting them up becomes such a downer having to undo it all. Such is life.

Morning all, well our mornings don’t seem to be getting lighter any earlier , and it’s wet and miserable here! Today it’s final preparations for our “ Sair Heidie” 4.5 mile run which takes place around the town on 1st January . It’s being going for well over 20 years and I somehow “ inherited “ the Organiser “ role about 6 or7 years ago . It’s a very social , low key run with all the money raised going to a local charity . Looking at the weather , the worst bits will be putting out the Direction Arrows first thing and standing outside timing the runners as they finish. It’s usually good fun though , so for the weather.

putting that off until Thursday

Took all morning to do most of inside but it’s the outside ones tomorrow that will prove more tricky! I have tried my best not to cross over any of the strings but I think the wind may have undone all my best laid plans.
