What a player Gabby was for us - made way for a certain Howard Kendall.....

He was one of my heroes , one of many then .I rember the first game i saw Howard play at Goodison ,i think he was very young and he played a ball into the box from about 20 yards and it went out for a goal kick.I thought he's rubbish ,but then i looked again ;and it was agreat ball but he was thinking one step ahead of the player he was aiming at , and thats what we some times miss as fans.As a side point i got a sports book and looked at the football section Dixie was there ,and there was a section about new talent coming out of Scotland Dennis Law was there and Jimmy was the other one but i dont think he got many International caps then , it shows you how strong the Scots team was then.

My late father was disgusted when they sold Gabby.....

Quick research shows this would have been the Blues second goal of the match, scored in the 80th minute. The keeper is John King.

The goal poacher of his day - he & Dave were prolific in our promotion season in 1954 - JWP scored the most ....... Dave made a hell of a lot with his swash bucking style of a no 9....
