Old Everton Pictures

Everton v that horrible Greek team -

That's pretty much right. Sprake was a decent goalie (welsh International) but prone to major errors like Careless Hands.

He collected the ball safely after an Everton attack at the Stretford End. But he was harried by an Everton player and panicked a little. Tried to punt the ball upfield to safety but miskicked quite badly and instead hit it only a few yards straight to Husband (I think). Sprake was well away from his goalmouth at that stage.

Jackie Charlton was still stationed near the goal line. Husband hit a lovely curling effort toward the unguarded net. Charlton had no choice really. It was going in. He handled and we got the penalty. Ball was out injured so Morrissey stepped up.

Remember it like it was yesterday. I was standing near the back of the Stretford End where all the blue fans were. The place went mental when it went in.

The next day the papers had lots of pics of Morrissey with his gaptoothed smile. Brilliant
It was a plan by harry catterick that got us the pen. He told joe royle to stand to sprake's right when he tried to kick the ball as he knew sprake had a weak left foot.
Masterclass tactics from harry
