Who was captain when you went to your first match?

My late father raved about TE Jones when we thought Labby was great......

Like wise with old fella.

Brian Labone

A great Captain never shouted just directed the play plus if anyone made a mistake a chat down his ear......

 

[Cameron Manning]

Roy got a hat-trick that day if memory serves me right.

And Alex Scott got the other one if my memory is right.

Led from the front one could say. A top striker, from memory all his shooting was on the ground cannot recall any lifted shot. Scored once with a header against Inter Milan but is was falsely disallowed by a bribed referee.

Linesman had his flag up for offside five seconds before he scored to be honest.

Had the privilege of having Ferguson and Stubbs on the same day... 13 March 2004.. only memorable moment in the game was Rooney scoring the winner.

I think Alan Ball as I'm almost certain Brian Labone missed panathinaikos at home,help @allezlesbleus

Bally was Captain anyway - took over when Labby got injured in the 1970 Championship run in - big mistake not handing it him back as great as Bally was not Captain material imo......

I was right behind the goal in GSE, so could not see any linesman. Still do not believe it.

Not sure if it was Brain Labone or Roy Vernon, it was when we won the league by beating Fulham.

Roy Vernon

Greenalgh (1947/48)

Peter Farrell was the best captain Everton ever had.

Get no arguments from me with that one, a very good player and a gentleman as well, wrote his own column in the Echo didn’t need any help from their reporters like most players did, Billy Liddell was another like Peter in every respect.

 

[Joey66]

1964/65 so it must be the gentleman Brian Labone or the Blue Dragon Roy vernon.

Cant remember too much as i really was a nipper then stood on an R.Whites lemonade wooden crate in the Street end.

Roy Vernon was your captain on your day

First match was early 90s and I remember Dave Watson so presuming it was him

Alan Ball. Aug 15th 1970 v Arsenal, drew 2-2.

I was there we were 2-0 up..... they looked a tired team world cup Mexico etc....

Yes it was well disputed, but it was offside, Imwas in Gwladys St. that night, half way up on the wall that separated the terrace from front to back.

Lyons.
