Popular Post daib0 Posted August 25, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Everton 8 Southampton 0 November 1971 My cousin found this comment about the match concerning Everton goalkeeper Gordon West Ken Hilton 658 Posted 24/09/2012 at 15:23:07 One of my funniest memories of football occured during that game. As has been mentioned above, the weather was terrible. Gordon West hardly touched the ball at all during the game and must been frozen. So during the second half, someone ran onto the pitch down the Park End and gave him a cup of tea. Gordon was drinking the tea while the game was still going on.! Great anecdote!!

MikeO Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Nice one, not heard that before. I remember the game, I was watching (as I mostly did) my local non-league team and then we'd race home to get the final scores of the big games on Grandstand. Talking about it in the car my dad told me we were five up at half-time but I thought he was winding me up, turned out he wasn't. We actually started that game behind Saints in the league; the other bit of trivia is that we only won one away game the whole season, 1-0 at Southampton. rubecula and daib0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I was there.. So was I Bill, those were the days when we either lost a game or totally hammered the opposition. Not sure what season it was but back then sometime I think we battered a London team too (Chelsea I think?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
