The Dead Thread

[roydo]

RIP Roger Hunt, a great striker from a great era. Am I right in thinking Geoff Hurst and Bobby Charlton are the only survivors from that team?

And George Cohen.

My bad, I thought he'd pegged it a while ago

And George Cohen.

A guy who I did National Service with in Singapore is a mate of George Cohen. I meet up with this guy two or three times a year, keep hoping he might bring George Cohen along. He would have phoned me if George had left this mortal coil.

I was in the street end for that game.....shame that we lost but he scored a great goal and it was superb to see him and Ray parade the Jules Rimet trophy around Goodison. Never saw any cheating dives from him unlike the current rs team

So was I.

For a 15 year-old, it was great to see the World Cup, FA Cup and Championship trophy (that was what it was called then) at Goodison being paraded around the ground with both teams mixed together behind them.

Before my time.
We will never see comradeship like that again.
Let's not kid ourselves, most of us locals would accompany their red mates to a game.

In the 1940's there was no segregation of supporters. For derby games, you could be stood next to some Liverpool supporters on the terrace. Apart from some banter, there was never any trouble.

Remember going in the road end for the voucher, and seeing familiar faces.
