A Pair of Safe Hands -
The GV movies as player Manager to Glentoran the then Irish league Champions -
The GV had a great playing career at his local club Hearts and Everton before moving to Glentoran. He is a true legend at Everton where he won a League Championship medal alongside Billy Bingham and where he is still revered as "The Golden Vision", a nickname coined by Spurs legend Danny Blanchflower -
Roman Lakaku joined an elite Everton goalscorers’ club on Sunday when he neatly nodded his 50th league goal for the Blues.

The names on Evertons post-War list of half-century scorers are familiar, even household - Graeme Sharp (who got there in 125 games), Bob Latchford (112), Alex Young and Alan Ball (both 109), Joe Royle (95) and Roy Vernon (79).
So who exactly was Fred Pickering, a centre-forward who scored 50 league goals in only 76 matches for Everton Football Club, but is sometimes unfairly overlooked when the club’s celebrated centre-forwards are named? Fred Boomer Pickering- who holds a unique record -
He scored two successive hat tricks at Goodison park in one week - a hat trick for Blackburn v us one week then on his Home debut at Goodison again scored a hat trick in a 6-0 win over Notts Forest on his debut.....

Fred Pickering, scoring record with us - spoke to my older brother last night and he reckons he was one top striker as a no 9- only for his knee injury he would have gone on to great things - just look at his strike rate for us below -
In total, Pickering scored 70 times in 115 matches for Everton – an average of a goal every 1.6 games. Such numbers are pretty impressive for a failed left-back who was converted to centre-forward by Blackburn boss Jack Marshall in what proved to be an inspired gamble -
