Dalziel Kane Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Bit pressed for time but today marks a kind of triple celebration on an Everton front #1 Today is Leighton Baines' birthday, 27 years young today, player of the season here a year or two ago, crowd favorite with some etc #2 Today is the seventh anniversary of one famous derby win over the shite, Carsley scores the only goal in a 1-0 beating of Liverpool at Goodison as Toffees eventually go on to finish 4th and in front of 40 552, the highest ever gate at the Old Lady for a Premier League game since it's inception in 1992/93 #3 most importantly, and should have been first maybe, but in any event, One William Ralph Dean's last game for Blues, a draw with Birmingham in 1937, for those not old enough to have seen him play the man was immense, you simply run out of superlatives with a player like this, Everton legend supreme, I would have liked to have met him just once, possibly the greatest header of a ball there has been, and finished on this day his Everton career with only 349 goals from 379 appearances in all competitions and all this for the mere price of £3000 from neighbors Tranmere This could well represent the greatest steal since the great train robbery Well done and thank you to all three for their services to Everton Football Club, past and present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
