Alan Stubbs - Reliable defensive unit that enjoyed success at various clubs and dead ball specialist. Unfairly treated at international level - should have featured a lot more - 42 Years Old Today

 

John Bell - Scots international who could play in either a midfield of attacking capacity who was a regular scorer at the end of the nineteenth century - would have been 144 Years Old Today

Scored for fun wherever he went and one of the most lethal center forwards the game has ever seen. Can't give the man enough superlatives. A striker's striker - would have been 94 Years Old Today RIP

Daniel Cadamarteri - Bradford born short lived center forward who was yet another Jeffers, Beattie, Johnson etc, that showed early promise but fizzled out into mediocrity. Was a member of the last day escape in 1998 against Coventry City and scored a memorable derby goal against Liverpool in 1997. Still active today - 34 Years Old

 

Robert (Bobby) Mimms - Southalls deputy and played in the 1986 FA Cup Final loss to Liverpool. Had more clubs than Arnold Palmer by the end of his career - 50 Years Old

I can only just remember Millwall in the first division :unsure: They got relegated that year?

 

They won the (then) second division league in 1987-88, went top of the league for a few weeks in around September of that calendar year, but were relegated in 1989-90 and have never been back in the top flight of english soccer since that time. Some EPL ground staff can only be thankful.

 

In any event, here are todays relevant details

 

Jimmy Husband - center forward of the Catterick tenure perhaps most remembered for a miss in the 1968 FA Cup Final defeat to West Bromwich Albion. Won a League Championship medal in 1969-70 - 66 Years Old

 

Alex Nyarko - short lived african player that saw a memorable incident at Highbury stadium and was soon to depart. Not a name to remember other than that - 40 Years Old

 

 

Todays past events

 

 

2005 - a 0 - 2 loss at Tottenham in the League

 

1997 - a 1 - 4 loss at Highfield Road to Coventry City in the League Cup - Everton were shit that night - along with the weather

 

1994 - a 0 - 2 loss at home to Coventry City in the League

 

1983 - a 0 - 1 loss at home to Luton Town in the League. Kendall was under growing pressure

 

1977 - a 1 - 0 home win over Bristol City in the League

 

1969 - a 0 - 2 loss at Maine Road to Manchester City in the League Cup. They may have won the competition that season although not 100 per cent on that. Did win the European Cup Winners Cup though

 

1963 - a 4 - 1 home win over Sheffield United in the League

 

1960 - a 3 - 2 win at Fulham in the League

 

1898 - a 5 - 5 draw at the Baseball Ground with Derby County in the League

 

1887 - a 0 - 1 loss against Bolton at a neutral venue in the FA Cup - which is widely accepted as being Everton Football Club's first "proper" game. (The football league was still a year away from being introduced) I.E. This game was the first in which the club really became recognized or it was actually recorded with full statistics - damn interesting
