Don't know about Thompson and Callaghan but if Dixie had Sir Stan and ace left winger Bill Perry in their 1950s pomp feeding him he would have scored 200 a season
It's OK we will have Rondon tonight who is not fit enough to put a repair stud on either players' boots....Don't know about Thompson and Callaghan but if Dixie had Sir Stan and ace left winger Bill Perry in their 1950s pomp feeding him he would have scored 200 a season
Let's hope we leave them like this for full time after a defeat by us ..... -
BALL BANNED
Liverpool Echo - Thursday 08 January 1970
HE GETS 5 WEEKS-AND £100 FINE
By Mike Charters
Everton and England forward Alan Ball was suspended for five weeks, starting from Monday, and was fined £100 by an F.A. Disciplinary Commission sitting in Derby this afternoon. A commission spokesman said that in reaching their decision the members took into account the circumstances of one of the previous bookings, that against Wolves on October 4, when he was cautioned for refusing to stand 10 yards away from a free kick. Ball was accompanied at the hearing by Everton manager Harry Catterick and director Cyril Balmforth who both gave evidence on his behalf. Ball hurried from the meeting before the decision was announced and told waiting reporters: “I have nothing to say at all." He travelled in a hired car back to Merseyside. Mr. Catterick said: "We can make no comment at all.” Ball is now ruled out for the England v. Holland game on January 14. Ball will miss the League games against Southampton, Wolves, Sunderland and Arsenal, and also the fixture Everton are trying to rearrange on January 24, the date of the fourth round of the F.A Cup -

Joe Royle was doing particularly well with his constructive headers. He put one great pass through for Husband, who moved on to it at top speed but Jefferson stepped in with a last second tackle. Everton were not playing as they had done in the opening 20 minutes when they blitzed Ipswich almost out of sight. But they still had 90 per cent, of the play, with Ipswich pulling nine men back and defending resolutely. Only a few inches separated us form a rare sight—a headed goal by Ball. Husband cleverly beat Harper, centred to the unmarked Ball, who took deliberate aim but headed just over the bar. Everton badly needed another goal to clinch their superiority. They almost got one when Husband, showing no signs of his injury, made a fine midfield run. Morrissey's final centre was cut off by McNeil. Greater danger
Ipswich substituted Woods for Brogan after 62 minutes, and were playing more dangerously now, putting high centres over for Wigg and Hill to challenge. Hill made one good header from a corner, but it was just wide. The mist was getting thicker and Everton's first strike for some minutes was a Royle header, wide from Ball's corner. Considering the amount of play Everton had had it was remarkable that they weren't three or four up. Royle finally managed to get a header on target—and a brilliant one at that—when he scored after 73 minutes, flashing the ball home from Ball's free kick. This was Royle's first goal since November 22nd and it couldn't have been more timely. Everton kept up their incessant pressure and the Ipswich defence, well though it had played, was fortunate to be only two down. Royle made the score look more in keeping with the play with another headed goal seven minutes from the end from a Morrissey centre. It followed a goal-line save by McNeil from a shot by Ball, but Morrissey collected the ball, centred to the far post for Royle to nod it in. Everton were hungry for more, while Ipswich hadn't made an attack worthy of the name in the second half. Official attendance: 42,510 -

DIXIE SAYS ‘THANKS’
Liverpool Echo - Tuesday 20 January 1970
…AND G.P.O PROVE THEY REMEMBER
The Post Office has proved that it has a heart -and a good memory—at least as far as Bill (Dixie) Dean, the former Everton, Notts County and Tranmere soccer wizard is concerned. After Bill had paid a visit to Prenton Park last week for the first time in 45 years he has had so many letters as the result of the Echo story that he has asked us to thank the writers on his behalf. One item in his mail-bag came from Warrington-the envelope is shown here-and such is Bill’s fame that it took no time before the postman delivered it to his Bebington home. Bill told the Echo; “I have been very moved by the comments in these letters. It was very kind of these people to write to me. “I was amazed with the one from Warrington-the postman had no difficulty in finding me -
