Old Everton Pictures

On this Day a certain Peter Reid made his debut in a 3-1 win v Nottingham Forest - the sign of things to come for our club - such an influential midfielder up there with the best midfielders -

Reidy wore the number 10 shirt. His early games were alongside a certain Steve McMahon in the Everton engine room. They didn't really shine, as they were very similar. It was only when McMahon was sold to Villa, Reid took the lead role.

He did alright, didn't he?

I'm not sure he's still with us. Seem to remember an article maybe on here a while back saying he was gone.

You may be right getting mixed up with Mick Meagan our other fullback at the time .....

Thanks. The original microfische of the Echo at Liverpool Library was very dark and I just photographed it. I look forward to the days when I can make more trips to Liverpool and copy more photos from the 50s and early 60s.

We played Rangers in a pre season friendly August 1971. I think this may be from that match. Sorry just seen that Dario has beaten me to it.

Pre season v rangers 1971 I think.

John Grieg, Rangers legend and maybe Colin Stein the number 9

In her later years, my Mum went into a nursing home. When i used to visit her, there was an elderly bloke, who used to love talking about the blues. I heard a few of the staff calling him Cyril. Turns out it was Cyril Lello. Sound fella.. That was 1997, in a nursing home in croylands street, off Walton rd.
