Good old Ken Bates he saved chelsea

WHERES OUR MONEY IN BUCKETS GONE THEN TRIED TOO FRAZZLE US WITH POXY FENCES SLAG !!!!!

Looking good Bob! I remember it well…… I remember when you played for us (the toffees) every corner we won was as good as a goal-you were there to nod the ball into the back of the net! Thank you for the memories xxxx

Such a shame liverpool at the time was more successful 😂😂😂😂,,,, scouse red

Its great they are All still with us. Gary steven Johny from the karate kid 🙂.

We were beating Man u and Arsenal by 5 and 6 in that season. Its hard to emphasize exactly how formidable we were really.. .An air of invincibilty EVERY game at one point. Linekar was great for us, but while other teams were still nervous of being embarrassed, i think it was REAL fear when Andy grey was with us. Defenders were bloody terrified of him. 💯🙏.. ALL of them, fantastic players.

This story is close to home as my dad was also an ill man who befriended Brooks. My dad and I (being a little boy) would follow Gretna up and down Scotland through their promotions. Unfortunately my dad died within months of Brooks and the memories will only ever be beautiful ones for me. As a boy I got to whiteness one of the best stories in football and the back end stuff hets forgotten. Gavin, Rowan, Kenny, James. You men were hero’s to me as young lad and I thank you for everything you gave to Gretna.

Great side, best team to never win the European cup, that side would have won it back to back.

As a Birmingham City fan, I grew up with the forward line of Francis. Latchford and Hatton. Never been bettered.

Met Bob at a sports shop he owned in Formby, back in the day. I was just a kid but he was super nice. Sadly the autograph he gave me has long been lost but like the other post mentioned, I remember him getting to that magic 30 goals tally.. COYB

We was fucking brilliant back then

ALL WAYS SHIT ON THE OLD BLUE N WHITE 😂😂😂

one of the times that i can actually say " i was there" was when he scored his 30th goal. He looked older then than he does now hahaha my hero

This Everton team gave me the best years of being an evertonian, thank you all and God bless you all.

Well done for finding some colour footage of Ipswich beating Norwich!

Back in the seventies, the Mormans knocked on my mums door, stupidly I answered it, after a few minutes I dragged them up to my bedroom and showed them the post of Bob Latchford on my wall and told them this is my God, I then tried to convert them into Everton supporters 🙂 They couldn't get out of the house quick enough and strangley enough they never called again 🙂

Pathetic attitude to Harding

Watched him score against my team Man City at Everton be around 1977 we drew 1-1 with Everton. I was staying with a friend in Liverpool who I’d met on holiday in wales and his dad took us both to watch the match..

What a brilliant centre forward in his day, I seem to remember nobody had scored 30 goals in the league for years before Bob done it, hard as nails as well.

Clinical finisher and looks like he could still get in the current team.

Regular at Goodison from early 60s and saw Bob in his first full season there, 1974-75. Signed by Billy Bingham in Feb 1974 he led the blues to the top of the league in April 75 only to lose to lowly Carlisle, and 3-2 at home to Sheffield United after leading 2-0 at half time. Which cost them the title That side was well served by Martin Dobson, Dave Clements, Gary Jones, Mike Lyons and Roger Kenyon. I saw the blues get great results at Derby then a great side, Spurs, Leeds and Man City all top teams If they had won three more games the title was theirs instead Liverpool came through to start their domination. Bob and Gordon Lee's sides played also played well in the league and FA cup 77, 80. and 81. What would todays team be like if they had Bob in an around the opposition penalty area ? He did after all: Walk on Water !

Back in the day I had a pal who was an Evertonian. He once said the Latchford was deceptive. He was even slower than he looked. 😂

I wish he was still here

Yellows Yellows Yellows 💛💚💛💚💛💚💛

Brillant Brillant team that Everton side mid to late eighties... loved watching that great team.. ONE OF THE GREAT TEAMS OF THE OLD FIRST DIVISION..

traitor. KRO

Knew albert at turner mfg showell road many years hope he is ok xx

What's he doing in Nuremberg?

I was studying at the then Wolves Poly- I'm from Newcastle and had been a season ticket holder since '88/9. I had a few wolves pals at game as I was in gallowgate and knew i'd be ribbed mercilessly when I got back to Wolves after xmas holidays- was a nightmare as a toon fan but happy for my Wolves pals!! NUFC

When i was a kid i remember the Latchford @everton card, in the collection of division 1 footballers was the one to have! He was a goalscorer supreme.And i always followed spurs.

It's bad when the best in England doesn't have the opportunity to play in the European cup

Great team. To get the better of that unbelievable Liverpool side of the 80s twice showed their class. Southall was the best keeper in the world.

As a young 16 year old Watching Everton win all the time, it just seemed normal winning leagues and cups . Pity I didn't continue. NSNO 1878.

My first game at Goodison Bob scored 5 v Wimbledon in a league cup game 👍

My 79 year old father who suffers Alzheimer's still talks about the 'best I've ever seen down St Andrews' in regards to Bob Latchford ❤

Best side we ever had happy fond memories, EFC forever.

Done a better job than there American clowns running the club now at least we had some success with bates

MY ERA, EVERTON IMORTALS.👍

When we had a great team!

This is a time i was growing up and loved Liverpool FC i was and still am a KOP season ticket holder and my aunt and uncle were staunch Everton fans i loved Liverpool because of my dad and granddad but i was playing at that time and had offers from Derby County and West Brom but in them days when i went to Anfield I just knew Liverpool would win, many people would hate me for this but at sometimes Liverpool would play boring football but this is why they were so amazing but my aunt said come and whatch Everton i did, they played fantastic football very aggressively and in your face and i totally loved it this was me as a 16 year old they should have won the European cup but that’s history and Maggi the bitch put paid to that and I totally condone what happened. Anyway Everton were a fantastic club and Howard Kendle was and always will be the best manager ever of Everton

My dad's hero.

Great era for the toffees I’m a red through n through but they had a boss side

By virtue of town wins v norwich head to head Ipswich won 43 Norwich won 42 Ipswich still pride of east Anglia

Brings a year to my eye thinking what could have been. I'm a Barrovian like Gary Stevens and feel immensely for the true Everton blues robbed of the ultimate success. Given Chelsea a good hiding today so let's get back there!

Its still quite heartbreaking i feel Brooks was a decent guy with a dream unfortunately the powers that bee got the better of him in the end

I read the comments and for me this is an event in football. Especially as it hasn't been played in years. Colourful game in the calendar

What have the budgies and a three pin plug got in common? They're both useless in europe! Norwich have played SIX games in total in europe, Ipswich played that many AT HOME in our UEFA Cup winning run in 1981. Count the trophies, the managers, the ground size, the respect and love we have compared to Norwich. Yes they beat Bayern Munich away in 1993 (a bloody good scalp may I add! ) but we also beat St Etienne and Cologne in 1981. St Etienne we smashed 4-1 in their ground and were applauded off the pitch. Yes I know Ipswich have been crap the last few years and Norwich have been in the premier league a few times, yeh well done! But we are rising, and December 16th hostilites commence again, and I cannot wait. We owe you one, big style.................(what's the betting it ends nil nil and our fourteen year wait goes on?)

Absolute legend .. without him there would of been no chelsea we was going to cease trading

East Anglia will always be blue and white not that scummy yellow and green 🚜💙🤍
