I've come back to this game because I was there in the paddock having graduated from a ground season ticket at four guineas to a paddock season ticket at five guineas. I remembered a good goal from Bobby Charlton and wanted to see it again in memory of the great man. That was the start of the Holy Trinity and a wonderful reminder of the sheer class of Alex Young. Those days in the late sixties of watching Everton were the best in football terms of my life enlivened as they were by some great opposition footballers like Greaves, Lee, Best, Charlton, Eddie Gray, Alan Clarke, Law, Peter Thompson, Eastham, Baker, Dougan. They have never been matched in my opinion.

Brilliant game, especially Best's moment of brilliance when he turned Ray Wilson inside out at 4.30, and Young's tremendous third Everton goal (apart from the blatant handball that is). Fantastic Everton performance - Ball, Harvey, West and especially Royle - I'm surprised that great team took until 1970 to be champions!

Years ago I saw a documentary on everton v arsenal 1967 68 season. An Interview with Alex Young , he said that in 1966 he was on 39 pounds a week and after winning the FA cup he got a 9 pound a week rise so he bought the wife a mini of hire purchase, he lived in Liverpool in a small terraced house. That pay rate is worth about 70,000 a year now. And Everton were a wealthy club.

@fisherpeter695 Жыл бұрын
@@robertlees7528 Everton's home game v Ipswich in the 1968-69 season was played in late January 1969.Its a game I always recall for two reasons. One was that the goal by Ray Crawford in the Gwlady's Street end was clearly punched into the net given he was yards offside and Gordon West made no attempt to save the ball having seen it land in the net. The referee who allowed it was Maurice Fussey, who older fans will recall. The other reason was that after the game my brother and me went to the front office with our Golden Goal ticket, seeing people walking away, we were shocked and elated to be told we had the winning time for the first goal. 35 minutes scored by Sandy Brown, a grass cutter from 25 yards, prize was £100. If you held that time with a second either side it was a £10 prize. Bally missed a late penalty when it was 2-2 which rocked the side a bit. In my own opinion Everton were a better side in the 68-69 season than the 69-70 winning title side. Their only weakness was the lack of a strong centre forward like Martin Chiver's, that cost this wonderful side more trophy's 1968- 71. I watched Everton home and away during the 60s and 70s.

Many fabulous players in both teams! Everton's two of the all-time greatest are here to be seen. Alan Ball, the midfield dynamo, the "new hero" and League Champion in 1969-70. Alex Young, the all-round striker, the "old hero" and League Champion in 1962-63. Everton's third goal is a testimony of Young's superb technical ability and footwork and finishing power. He was also a brilliant header of the ball.

What a goal by Young. Nothing wrong at all with the technical ability of players then. I doubt there is very much to separate players then and now on that basis. Probably the real differences are superior tactical nous, better "medical" science to boost players fitness, and most of all selection of players not based on football talent alone but freakish physical attributes. What football gained in athleticism is lost in every other area that made is so central to peoples lives.

Nothing wrong with talent and potential technical ability in the old days.... at amateur/school levels, the game is very similar now to what is was 50-60 years ago. In the old days, training facilities and actual training was hardly any different for top professionals or pub football e.g. read what Bill Shankly had to cope with when he first arrived at Anfield. At the highest levels the main differences nowadays is far superior physical fitness and focused development of tactical and technical skills.........all made possible by advanced technology and much, much, much more money.

I saw three members of that Everton team playing for Oldham a few years later - Wilson, Hurst and Morrissey. The first two were okay, but Morrissey was a right shyster: played just half a dozen times, then demanded a transfer. Seems to have retired completely from the game after that (September 1972). Joe Royle went on to become our manager as well in 1982.
