I was gutted when we sold Latchford to Everton . He was brilliant at Birmingham City. His brother Dave was the Blues goalkeeper and his other brother Peter was the goalkeeper for West Bromwich Albion, a true football family!

Yeah Bob had a great scoring record for Birmingham, especially his 27 goals in the 71/72 promotion season. Apparently he could’ve joined Liverpool, Blues captain Roger Hynd was Bill Shankly’s nephew & went round to Latchfords house when he heard about Everton’s bid & mentioned Liverpool were interested once they knew Birmingham would accept £350,000 (a then British transfer record). But it was too late as he’d already signed for the Toffees. It was the first of many heartaches for me being a young Blues fan…KRO

Didn't Dave Latchford become Celtic keeper for a while?

SO glad to se you are back in action . Many ,many thanks for your great work .

Thanks for the spoilers Brian Moore for the Stoke v Palace game!😄

Dalglish had only been playing for Liverpool for a little over a month at this point, and he was already scoring goals like the one at 25:09!

Everton re-uniting Dobson and Thomas,who used to both play for Burnley. Peter Eastoe moved to Everton from QPR and Dave Thomas did really well for my team,Portsmouth. Everton's goalie George Wood I think went to Arsenal.
