Born on this day in 1913, Walter ‘Wally’ Boyes (seen here with his son). Signed early in 1938, he was key to transforming Everton from battling relegation to winning the League Championship. The ex-WBA man was capped 3 times by England.
Everton v Swansea in a fourth round of the FA Cup in 1953 at a snow covered Goodison Park - again love that blue stripe down our shorts-we won 3 - 0 to go through getting beat in the next round by Sheffield Wednesday - bear in mind we were then in the old division 2 in which this season was the promotion year back into the big time - we have stayed ever since -
