Sir John Moore's who in the 1960s gave us the title as the Mersey Millionaires - he was ruthless ran our club like his Littlewoods businesses - He also then sat on the LFC Board too which is illegal now - here he is in the 1980s as an EFC Board member - two sucessful decades with him at the realm more so influenced in the 1960’s though - After 1963 our team was littered with home-grown talent with local players, plus youth players & key signings -

I know football was altogether different back then, but what record, sublime !!
It may have been different but Dixie was still playing with the same rules & formations of teams put out - like every era of football - I have read most of his autobiographies he was a complete athlete in stature a bit like a young Wayne Rooney not a tall CF, but with a bullet header.... plus his all round play not sure he was even booked -.......

You would have to kill someone back then to get booked, but seriously Dixie was special !!
My hero Joe challenging for the ball with the late Ray Clemence who sadly passed away this week -
Wee Bobby Collins working as a connler - playin ametuer football up in Scotland - we provisionally signed him as a youngster, but made a Horlicks of the paperwork - so he then signed for Celtic instead. The Scottish FA baked him = Everton that - we signed him much later on in his illustrious career then released him far too early like Bally - Everton that -
Bobby Collins super fit in training - Labby reckons he would warm up in athetes spike shoes before the players started training .....Labby stated he was young, Collins was his mentor a true professional -
