Yes that was away & we were missing Joe Royle & Westy.... our defence went to bits that day after being ahead - at home we seemed to win if my memory serves me correct in that golden era of the Trinity….seem to remember that Forest team knocking us out of the FA Cup around that time with Storey-Moore grabbing a hat-trick.
Little semi detached for Sandy,how times have changed for our Everton heroes
Which season have goalkeepers started to have numbers in the back? Or have I just been missing somethingWhat an away kit - loved it when we went away in that golden era -

Was Westy wearing the outfield players kit here?
Goalkeepers began to wear numbers on their backs regularly in the 1939-40 season, when the Football League in England officially decreed that all players (including goalkeepers) must wear numbers 1 to 11.outbreak of WWII, leading to the full, stable introduction in the 1946-47 season after the war...Which season have goalkeepers started to have numbers in the back?

In the modern era the number of a keepers shirt stopped not mandatory * as eary as the 1960s- 1980s keepers had the freedom to choose a coloured kitIntresting!
