John Connolly would look great with a Fender stratocaster round his neck, and a pair of blue tinted shades. He looks a ringer for Skunk Baxter of Steely dan

Only a fool would say that....

Bally tussling with Trevor Hockey of Sheffield United. Hockey was a "destroyer" on a football pitch.

Haha. Any major dude knows its's true.

…played against him once at Villa Park, kicked me up in the air on the halfway line.

He scored on his debut v WBA in a 4-1 win. He had a great game in a make shift midfield, in the 1-0 league derby win in 1985. Wilkinson scored.

Last game was Southampton at the Dell in April 1972?

What a fabulous player Johnny was. Hard as teak but a lovely fella. He used to come down to his Mums down Scottie road on a sunday, and then take me and my mate, young Johnny and his other son Stephen, to Stanley or Walton hall park in his pale blue Mercedes to play footy.

The home leg was my first match. I am somewhere in the Upper Bullens there with my dad.

Pity the away European cup games aren't available to view. I know a Greek commentary version is available of Panithanaikos v Everton, but that's it.

In the Everton break my heart stakes, I wrote off the Storey-Moore game as just one of those things...with a grudging - fairplay to Carey and Wignall for maybe wanting it more and imbuing Forest with some fight.
Astle broke my heart - just how did we lose that? Was the constant question all the way home...we stopped in the first pub we found to drown our sorrows, couldn't even get into that, left after 3 pints
Villa hurt, but not as bad, only, 95%. We settled for the draw and paid the price - probably my first official 'Everton That', little did I know...

I watched that 68 final in full a few weeks ago. In glorious colour! We just didn't turn up on the day. I reckon it was something to do with the sponsorship deal the players signed with puma before the game. All our players wore puma boots that day. Only a couple wore them every week, so the rest were playing in brand new boots. Thats my excuse.

Still ranks as my worst football day ever - gutted

May 86 against rs for me. Winning 1-0 at ht as well. Gutted!

Alan Ball pictured before the kick-off v Panathinaikos March 1971 - a big turning point in the breaking up of that great team -

That week, we went out of the European cup to Panithanikos, and out of the FA cup at the semis to the rs at old trafford. It shaped the seventies for us.

I had the identical reaction to Murray, I couldn't see what the fuss was about. I hope things panned out for him after the Everton interlude. Of the rest of your list, Billy Kenny was the real stand-out for me. I can't believe he didn't make a good career for himself. He did a lengthy interview a month ago, in which a lot became much clearer. It's well worth a listen:

How sad. A lad with the talent he had.....

Scored on his debut v Manu?
