remember those matches well. Was practically willing Everton to score , and beat them. A few close calls in some of our cup runs back in those days. Made a wee bit of a fool of myself in predicting the result against UCD from Ireland. Predicting a double figure aggregate win against the Irish part timers. How wrong was that. But we then go on to win that cup.
Was those matches Everton easing up. Our the smaller teams raising their game. Anyhow , here's to a win tomorrow. And getting this awful season at long last, kick started. Up The Toffees......

That's what I meant. It was far too close. And ucd were just part time footballers. We should have hammered them. But as we all know , football doesn't work like that.

Wasn't that the 1966 Charity Shield game?
We had won the FA Cup and England won the World Cup that summer, the other lot had won the league.
They paraded all 3 trophies around the ground.
We had also signed Alan Ball that summer, the biggest prize of all.
Not sure if Bally played that day or not?

Alan Ball didn't play that game in fact he didn,t sign for us till 15th August.
Debut against Fulham away 20th August where he scored the only goal .
What a debut that was!!

My late father & older brother really rated this winger - sadly broke his leg in two places away to Chelsea in a clash with their goalkeeper - never sadly recovered for that bad injury -
