Terry Darracott, who had already made a couple of first team appearances when Mick Buckley when he arrived at Everton, recalls:
‘We were lucky to get him – he really was a young talent. He was as confident a kid as I’d ever met with regards to his ability. He didn’t scream and shout – he was a quiet kid – but he was quietly confident in his ability.
