Yes Avinalaff, I saw him loads of times, - loved him. I remember his cheekiness; taunting opposing players. I remember one match where he sat on the ball near the dugout then as the opposing player came in for the tackle to get the ball, he quickly stood up, flicked it and was off goalward.
Was he the best you saw from those days or were there others that impressed you?

Thanks for asking forevereverton.
At the risk of boring people, Entering the sixties I was a teenager and understanding more of the tactics of football. Players that I admired during the sixties were Alex Young; I think he came to Everton just before Christmas in 1960; he became my hero taking over first place in my heart from Nat Lofthouse of Bolton Wanderers who had been my hero for years, I think because he was one of the first centre forwards I saw when he played for Bolton & England.
Obviously later in the sixties, the Kendall, Ball, Harvey trio were magnificent. I always liked Alec Parker for his 'no nonsence' tackles (he wouldn't last 5 minutes in todays game), but he was fair and direct.
In the seventies, Mick Lyons was a great local lad who always played his heart out as was Joe Royle, (an honest player).
The best foreign player I saw was Eusébio from Portugal in the 1966 World Cup at Goodison.

Why don't you write a story or an article about it? I'm sure everybody would be interested. I would at least.
