Old Everton Pictures

[Cameron Manning]

Remember being a little excited when we brought in Joe Harper. The guy was scoring for fun with Aberdeen. But I soon lost that excited feeling. And he then went back to scoring goals when he went back to Scotland. But I actually liked him , even though he never really did much for us.

He looked very good on his debut, I think he scored in a 3-1 victory, can’t think who it was against although he missed a penalty in that game which went well wide, he didn’t stay to long before we sold him, was it to Huddersfield?

Yellow with dark blue stripes I think mate!!

White with Yellow/Blue stripes - we were seriously bad away from home at that time (like 2022 levels of bad) somewhat like the horrible yellow with green shorts ("Norwich") 1972 when we were equally as bad.

He had a very short spell at Huddersfield in 1968. It didn't really work out.
He played 43 games for Everton. And scored 12 goals. Not bad I suppose , when we have strikers nowadays who score very little. And midfielders that score nothing.
. He joined Hibs after he left Everton . Then moved on to his beloved Aberdeen.
Just had a wee look at his stats. He scored over 200 goals in Scotland. And a grand total of 16 in England. ( Huddersfield 4 and Everton 12 ).
Think that maybe Scotland was his level. Or maybe he was homesick.
I actually liked Scottish football. And always rated Joe Harper.
Ps.....sorry for the long reply...
