When we had a keeper like Westy & Big Nev who commanded our area - Gordon West turn to get out the clenched fist when challenged by two Stoke's raiders -

I'm not so sure myself.
King George died on 6th February 1952.
We had a home game a couple of days later on the 9th Feb against Leicester. That team opposing us are in stripes making me think it was Notts County and Leicester have seemingly never played in striped shirts so not sure at all.
That season we were in the second division. I hope that's not an omen.

George V, 1926. Those shorts look too baggy even for 1952

Hat trick on debut for England and Everton. Not many Toffees have done that I would further suggest. Probably none. Legend of a centre forward everywhere he played.

Good memories of meeting him in the Weld Blundell in Lydiate.

George V died Jan 1936 not 1926. Everton played three home games in a row that January Liverpool, Preston, Bolton. None of those clubs would have played in stripes. So we're still no nearer. @Joey66, what have you started?
BTW am waiting for a response from Fox In Peace to see if there's any Leicester connection.
