Terry Darracott, right, played right back in this game for Everton and was part of the reason City made little impact down that flank, with neither Summerbee nor Marsh having any luck against him. The inexperienced Denis Leman, making up the attack with Lee and Marsh, was eventually replaced by Denis Law, but to little avail. Darracott would play a total of 148 games for the Toffees between 1967 and 1979, before heading to the States to wind down his playing career with Tulsa Roughnecks. He later resurfaced at Everton and at Maine Road under Howard Kendall as part of the large contingent of ex-Evertonians in the playing and coaching staff around that time.

Lives in Prescot. Used to jog around the area for fitness but can just about walk now,still walks in all weathers and having seen all his home games he always gave his all.Something some of our current players should take note of.

....Tommy Wright I think, another very fine player who doesn't get many mentions. Last I heard he was working at Garston Docks but you rarely see the likes of him or Johnny Morrisey when the old guard get together. Hope he's well.

I've seen Tommy in the Main Stand a few times the last few years Eggs.

.....cheers Dario. I hope time has been kind to him. I think he was an 'inside forward' as a youth player but like so many top class full backs in those days (including Ray Wilson) he was converted to a defensive role. Perhaps doesn't happen so much these days but some years ago I was asked by a manager in the lower leagues about youth team players at Everton. I suggested a young central midfielder could have a future as a full back and it turned out to be a reasonable prediction - Tony Hibbert.

My Old fella often tells me a story about Chris Lawler,the ex Liverpool full back and a fine player,apparently when Chris used to go out into town,if he'd ever had "one too many"he'd always say,"am I as good as Tommy Wright?"

Johnny Morrisey against Panathinaikos

Moggsy in his pomp there - what a great little winger he really was ten years service for £10, 000 VFM or what a treat to watch him!

...that's great isn't it. Both local lads, Lawler went to St Teresa's in Norris Green. Lawler was a prolific goalscorer but I think Tommy Wright trumps him with international caps.

....John Robertson came along later and was very similar to Morrisey. Robertson scored the winning goal in a European Cup Final and Morrisey got some important ones for us. Not many full backs kicked Johnny Morrisey for fear of getting worst back.
