Everton right-back focus: Terry Darracott (1950-2022).See here up against Alan Ball. A boyhood Red who became a fervent Blue. Made up for what he lacked in polish with commitment & desire. 179 Blues appearances before playing in USA & at Wrexham. Returned to EFC as a coach for @Dario Terracotta -
Everton right-back focus: Sandy Brown (1939-2014)More than a right-back, the former Partick Thistle man was a tough, dependable ‘play-anywhere’ squad member. Also, a regular at left-back. 208 EFC starts, 43 sub appearances -
One of England’s classiest & most composed full-backs was lost to cancer on this day, 25 year ago. Keith Newton was Idolised at Ewood Park & Burnden Park - not many can have boasted that! A league winner at EFC, but not his happiest days. A top performer for
England but never quite settled with us -
