Yes hot air blowing under your seat in the Bob Lord stand with snow all over the Lancashire fells in the distance

Weird that I can remember that but can't recall what I had for tea yesterday!

Wasn't that the 6-2 win at WBA weeks before we lost to them in the final?

I can still smell the fragrance of the fresh chewing gum every time I see those cards!

Another very unlucky player:

'68 Cup Final - unused sub
'70 - didn't play enough games to be awarded a Championship medal despite deputising for Labone on the run in.
Mid-70s - picked for England squad but left on the subs bench despite Revie promising he would bring him on.

I remember reading Alan Gowling's autobiography (!) and he wrote about the toughest central defenders he played against, mentioning all the usual names but then said that the toughest combination was the Roger Kenyon/Mick Lyons duo for Everton - it was always a battle against them, hard but fair. That said, Kenyon did perpetrate one of the worst fouls I can remember from an Everton player pre-Bruce Rioch, when he took out a QPR player at Goodison, think it had been brewing for some time, and somehow avoided being sent off.

Didn't he grow a beard because he had been in a bad car smash and was severely scarred?

Correct Dario - always thought it made him look tougher!
