Peter Beagrie - who Sharpy stated by the time he crossed the ball he had damaged my knees lol

Nyes his debut wore the number 10 shirt - never looked forwards either after that - Henry the Hammer for Forest Henry the plodder for us - The Catt was trying to get a midfield trio of Kendall, Harvey , and him together TBF Harveys hip was causing him problems ....... he never really got going for us- HK outshone him......

Henry's debut at Highbury saw Catterick drop John Hurst to make way for him, shifting Howard back into the centre of defence alongside Kenyon, where he had the misfortune to be marking a red-hot Ray Kennedy. We lost 4-0 and the Catt never made that mistake again. Henry was consigned to the stands for the next few weeks until he re-emerged playing out of position at left-back, where he was to spend a good deal of his spell at Goodison.

Had a hammer of a shot on him like Newton,we never saw it once at Goodison!!

Saw a few of his trademark 'tackles' though!

One for the specialists. I came across this on my recent visit to the library but can't identify the year. According to my records Dean scored against Blackburn at Goodison 6..4.28 (2 goals), 1.3.30 (1 goal), 26.12.31 (3),8.12.34 (2 goals), 14.3.36 (2 goals). It's wishfull thinking but does anyone recognise the photo from their collection.

15th September 1962 Jimmy Gabriel leaps to score with a thundering header at Bolton to seal a 2-0 victory - my first game to see the blues aged six - sat on a crash barrier with my late father and friends aalso my older brother about 8 of us in a Ford Transit van sat on beer crates .....

Joey, did your idol, Alex Young, score the first goal in this game?

 

[Cameron Manning]

You can see it in his face am I making a mistake coming here?

Billy Bingham doesn’t look like he’s made the right decision in signing him either !!!

No it was Frank Wignall - who bit us years later in the FA Cup playing for Notts Forest - he gave Labby a torrid time that day......

....it would’ve been ideal if the caption named the Blackburn goalkeeper. I’m not sure about kit changes in those days, but one way of determining could be looking at team photos from those seasons to see if there is anything unique in what they are wearing (hoops on the Blackburn socks).

Great picture, though.

Billy probably knew he was already in the 'Last Chance Saloon!'

Well he went soon after signing McKenzie and Bruce Rioch, I saw their debut at Coventry in a 4-2 defeat.

No Victor Anichebe?

Joey, don’t think Frank Wignall played in that game, just check, it might have been Billy Bingham who scored the other goal.

Sorry the first game away at Bolton Gabby and Bingham scored you are correct.I thought you were talking about the GV debut post where we got beat ...my mistake sorry
TBH as a 6 year old in my debut game of seeing the blues what ecaptured me was the away support blue balloons all over the pitch the fantastic away fans etc my late father loved seeing Gabby a great play and great servant to the club maybe sold in haste too......
