I think they played a game at S. Lpool...reputedly...'according to the internet', one of the first under lights in the area.
I only remember going to the one in 1954, again Vs a 'Nigerian Select Team on a 'brisk' (cold) November night...and them in bare feet.
13,000 in that little ground by the station.

Saw this on Twitter, I’d never seen this angle of the penalty v Wimbledon before.
You can feel the emotion from the stands.

A year or so before my time that one, though I do seem to recall Everton playing another team in the early 60s who played in bare feet. Bangu?

Great to see Spirit of the Blues enjoying chart success 36 years after release. The vinyl's B side, Forever Everton (by Graham Gouldman of 10CC) deserves further exposure too. -
