Old Everton Pictures

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

He was a complete contrast with our tank on the left, who beat fullbacks with footwork & a change of pace. As you've seen, Sydenham was a pure speedster, with a bullet of a cross. Moggsey, on the other hand, was the king of the flighted cross right on the edge of the keeper's comfort zone. A pleasure to see two such very different approaches to the winger's arts. The Mogster, of course, had the added bonus of being a total assassin when the need arose!

Aye...when i have ever watched old footage from the late 60s / early 70s. Morrissey, along with Ball and Harvey, stands out to me. He seemed like he was so consistent.

Very close - Saul played off Davies at No 8. Did he go in part-ex for Chivers?

As to the winger's name I couldn't remember, after a change of nappy and a couple of the happy pills, I have it: John Sydenham. Here's the latter combining with Davies to rip Man U to pieces at Old Trafford in August 1969. Keep an eye out for the build up to the Saints' third - a certain Jimmy Gabriel to the fore:

The no 5 great rugby tackle there

Do we really get wingers like that in today's game ? The Moggsys - the Dave Thomas - Goodlass style wingers who got to the by line & sent over an unbeatable cross to a no 9 as they knew where they were lucking?

Thompson & Callaghan for the other lot - Dixie Dean stated if he had those two on each wing, he could have scored a 100 league goals in a season .....

All different styles of winger, But like you stated Major they had pin point crosses to the attacker, usually the tall no 9.....

It's no good being a fast winger beating a man which is an art - then sending a poor cross in which IMO happens today - eg our Peter Beagerie was a fine example of that......twisting turning too much the ball seldom came over accurately ....
