Old Everton Pictures

....in that great clip posted by @ManxBrian, Joe Royle talks about the great 1970 team and how he, Whittle, Husband, Harvey, Wright, Hurst, Labone and Kenyon came through the Academy.

Different times, of course, but even then Husband, Hurst and Kenyan weren’t local so we must’ve have a scouting network.
Ah, the golden generation.
We did have Johnson Scott, Styles, Telfer, Goodlass, Buckley, Barlow, Unsworth, Rooney, Osman, Cadamatari, Vaughn Anichibe, Hibbert, Barkley, Davies to name but a few.
Is that decent value for 50yrs of academy and youth teams?
Probably.
Then again if you dont buy a ticket you wont win the raffle...which is the whole point.
 

1970 English Football Players in Mexico, including Everton Players...Brian Labone, Tommy Wright and Alan Ball.some say too many of our team playing at high altitude was the main reason for the poor form on return , and the break up of that squad-
