Alan Ball & Colin Harvey when asked who would they like to play with
Both went for Bremner

We had him almost signed as a youngster - the Catt had a verbal agreement with Revie - then someone got injured in the Leeds team - Bremner came in to the first team & excelled & called the deal off ...

Recall the second attempt, I also think Robson was a perfect fit for us too, shame Moore's couldn't be more discreet.

My recollections of Revie were more of his stint for England than Leeds but do remember thinking his Leeds teams were hard as nails but still played some great football.

I have got memories of Leeds battering Southampton 7-0 and Leeds knocking the ball around the pitch
While soton players running round in circles

We done 8

11 games he lasted with a young promising David Johnson going the other way to Ipswich .... plus we had to pay cash

Glad we didn't get Revie, the man was a cheat.

I thought we had a thread, years' back, shocked I remembered.

'The Battle of Goodison at 50' - 1964.

‘The battle of Goodison’ at 50: 1964, Everton and Leeds lose their manners and tempers • For the first time in a league match a referee walked off the pitch because of violent play • Too much money in the game blamed for worsening behaviour, said football authorities Share84 Email Leeds’...

Those newspaper clips show total pro Leeds bias - according to them it was all our fault.
Or they went the other simplistic way Money is spoiling the game.

It had nothing to do with money and all to do with Revie and his Cowardly Mk.II plan...(his first plan in the 50s was basically to play with a deep lying centre forward/ false number 9...revolutionary for the 50s)

The anybody but Everton thing was rife even then

I was there that day as the used the side Turnstile to take Gwladys street - Got in the paddock to see the bloodbath as knives & weapons were in use - ST John's Ambulance men with stretchers with blood dripping through the canvas running past me towards the park end - I think 2 or 3 Millwall fans died .... we got beat 2-0 in the FA Cup that day - awful scenes from the travelling fans - v the Gwladys street - a non contest .....

2 or 3 died? Not having that. I was at that game and I don't recall anybody dying. There was a lot of trouble in the Street End but no deaths...

I have the programme for the Leeds game. Was the day I was born.

Fair enough. They had casualties but nobody died. We leave all that to others...
