Still the best no 5 we've ever had.

Still the best no 5 we've ever had.

My late father would have agreed - so many stories he related to me as i raved over a young Labone .....

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Still the best no 5 we've ever had.

Debatable for sure

Aye, I don't imagine many free kicks were scored pre-70s, as it didn't seem a "thing" in the English league before then (started being a lot more common in 80s I'd say). it must have been a cultural thing.

Here's two to start you off : 09.02.65 Pickering v Man Utd (H) FAIRS CUP Fred Pickering fires in a free kick to score in the return home leg of the Fairs Cup against Manchester United

23.11.64 Pickering v Kilmarnock (H) FAIRS CUP Forsyth is left clutching at air as Fred Pickering's free kick tears into the net for Everton's fourth and final goal against Kilmarnock in the Fairs Cup

Wow, brilliant, thanks for that. I'd didnt realise Pickering had that in his locker, arguably the most underrated Everton player with future generations (maybe because of 66?)

24.08.57 Harris v Wolves (H) Jimmy Harris fires a low shot past Wolves keeper, Malcolm Finlayson, to score the only goal of the game

….vague recollection of being at that Kilmarnock game in ‘64. I recall one game where Pickering went off injured but came back on again bandaged. His goalscoring record is worthy of the highest respect.

 

[ManxBrian]

1) 27.09.52 Parker v Doncaster (H) John Willie Parker scores his, and the games, first goal

2) 27.09.52 Eglington v Doncaster (H) Tommy Eglington fires home the first of his five goals during a 7-1 victory

3) 27.09.52 Eglington's second v Doncaster (H) Tommy Eglington is out of the picture as his header from a Jimmy Harris cross finds the net for his second of the match

Here is some of the match report

 

[ManxBrian]

My time in the Library records did produce photo and report from one slightly more recent game. Does 2002 count as an "old" photograph ?

 

[ManxBrian]

1) 26.04.58 Harris (J) v Forest (A) Jimmy Harris meets a Walter Fielding corner to head the Blues opener during a 3-0 victory

2) 26.04.58 Harris (B) v Forest (A) Brian Harris meets a Walter Fielding corner to head the Blues second, and the first of his brace
