I mobbed him not at Goodison but Prenton Park.
My next contact with him was when I was detailed to mark him in a charity match.
I was in my early thirties with him in his mid fifties. Only one winner there, the old bugger turned me inside out in the 30 minutes he was on the park.
Total respect!

Joey owns some nice pieces of football memorabilia. That letter has to be rare. Museum rare. Think we all know that numbers were used for the first time in Britian in that match. But to come up with that letter........great stuff.A cracker that Joey
Obviously I already knew that this was the first match with numbered shirts. I never knew though that our numbers were in black and City's were white. Interesting.
I've seen the programme for that match go for between £400 to £1000. Depending on condition. I lost out on bidding for one a few years back.
But on the basis of what I think the programmes are worth........I reckon that that letter has to be worth a few bob. You won't see many. It has to be rare.
Sorry for rambling on folks.........But as a collector of all things Everton and football in general. I think that letter is a little gem........Up The Toffees....
That looks like that semi from 71 , I was in that mass of fans behind the goal at Old Trafford. You could hardly breath in there.
One of the worst days of my life.
My older brother got complimentary stand tickets off his boss who was a red at face value......he soon got sacked there ..,..
15th September 1962 Jimmy Gabriel leaps to score with a thundering header at Bolton to seal a 2-0 victory, My first away game we won 2-0 I was 6 years old Billy Bingham scored the other goal - memorable day -
The Championship team 1962/63 - 3 players missing Brian Harris, & George Thompson & another - maybe Derek Temple who contributed combined 100 games in that season - The Catt sent them to a reserve game away when we clinched the title - he was ruthless -
In a hotly disputed brutal game the blues got knocked out by West Ham away, this is where the blues fans got a bad name of hooligans, notice the beer bottles on the pitch - the ref was not to our fans liking -
The Catt in deep thoughts -
