Richard Wright. Oh dear. Didn’t he fall out of his loft and broke his shoulder?

Was before or after he tripped over in an away game during the pre match kick about and had to be replaced.

...is that the West Brom game, Joey?

If it is, I think our team that night contained 10 Englishmen and 1 Scot. How times change.

Eggs in the 1968 fa cup final v WBA we played with eleven Englishmen.

I never realised that the GV was our substitute that day , and asked the Catt to get on to break the then dead lock in normal time......

It was Roger Kenyon who was the sub that day.

...sorry CM, I think the picture I commented on was the evening we won the league in 1970. 10 Englishmen and 1 Scot.

Without looking, who was the Scotsman who played that famous evening?

Was it good old Sandy?

The whole of Goodison sung that night......

Eggs I knew that, I was just citing another game. I honestly don’t know who the Scotsman was, can’t even guess at the moment.

....Sandy Brown (I think). It is amazing, though, as you point out, that teams those days were predominantly British/Irish. It’s not that long ago, but the game now is so cosmopolitan.

Just thinking about how many Academy players might have been in that 1970 side. John Hurst and Jimmy Husband weren’t local but came through our ranks. Roger Kenton is from Blackpool and was around the fringes, I presume he came through the Academy route. Whittle, Royle, Labone, Tommy Wright, Harvey and Johnny Morrissey were certainly local lads. That is quite a %.
