Better guitar player than keeper? Still I was fond of him as part of that squadView attachment 151730

I think they all played against Shamrock Rovers in the friendlies that I was brought to, but I was so young I only clearly remember Labby and Bally in his white boots. Pretty sure West was in goal too and that Joe Royle was thereHe was ill-advised to do what he did - plus in those days the law was so harsh - other top players in Wednesdays team Peter Swan etc got the same treatment compared to what goes on nowadays in reflection the law back then was far too hard banned from any football prison sentence etc ....
What upset me, my late father & older brother came home from each game Tony Kay played in telling me what a gem of a signing he was - i was just about to go to the game as they promised me & bingo he got banned - evidently Labby stated he was great - but he was too overconfident in his attitude - plus Bally would have loved to play in a team with Kay in it - plus we may never have seen The Holy trinity - who knows -
I did get to see them, what a pleasure it was too...![]()
Compared to what we have today he was more than OK - I saw andy have blinding games kept Westy out of the side too... then he seemed to suffer in major games .... he never flapped as much as Pickford lolBetter guitar player than keeper? Still I was fond of him as part of that squad
I remember that game so well.Everton V Luton Town - FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park 13 4 85 Everton manager Howard Kendall - Alan Harper seems to be brewing up lol -
