Frey Bentos=Dead meat apparently the blues of the day labelled him Joey according to my old Dad

he was a conventional stopper in a dirty sort of way told Joe royle he would not win a ball in the air in the crucial 1970 derby at the pit Joe scored a great header above him that day = class prevails.....

For a kopite he always comes across as a decent sort of fella, not many of them I can tolerate!!Ian Callaghan another,Alan Kennedy too, now I'm struggling!!!

Not many will pick up (pun intended) Dixie's Refference top left. It was from a popular theatre/music hall turn of the time, Stanley Holloway...imo, not his best, check out 'The Lion and Albert'



I'm not sure which Sam Dixie was aiming at, was there a city play called Sam, or our own Sam .

Absolutely brilliant Stanley Holloway doing Sam & The lion and Albert, thanks for the memories mate.

It was at Oldham where my late father was amongst the 20,000 plus fans who invaded Oldham that day - to just miss out as Champions but become runners up to be promoted -

The Oldham officials poured sticky runny tar on the walls - the everton fans ran to the newsagents bought as many newspapers as they could and placed them over the tar and still scaled the walls...
we were 3-0 up at half time need to win by 4 clear goals to win the league just did not make it -I was born 6 months later to be a blue my late father was a fanatical blue as is my older brother - my sister was till she married into a load of reds...... My late mother was always a blue too - it should be once a blue always a blue ....
know only a few turncoats in my time......
