I agree,Rocka-a very good player.What yer laughing at yer daft sod?
I happen to like Latchford.
I was watching an old episode of Coronation Street (1977). Eddie Yates was bragging how good of a player Duncan McKenzie is at Everton.
Duncan played on the opening day for Everton in 1977 too,Rocka.
To be fair they have always been a conveyor belt for talent. Having the biggest inner city wasteland outside London, and maybe Manchester, has its benefits.
Aye he did Cloughie, it all went down hill for him after that.
A great shame,Rocka-in many ways a wasted talent with incredible ability.
Yes it was... He was one of my favourite ever Forest players.
I think they call him Shrek.
In that 77/78 season I was sharing a house with a bloke who was a mad Evertonian and I went with him to watch Everton play at Leicester and Everton destroyed Leicester 5-1 with Latchford scoring 4 and Duncan the other. And if I remember correctly most of the goals were made by their winger Dave Thomas who I think they bought from QPR. And didn't Thomas make most of the goals when Malcolm McDonald scored 5 for England against Cyprus?
Nice one Trev.
I think Everton were joint Championship favourites (with Liverpool) at the start of the season.
Funnily enough I was thinking about Dave Thomas last week. He was probably my favourite non-Forest player at that time. I used to love his swashbuckling style of play - socks round his ankles, heading for the byline at full chat before pinging over an inch perfect cross. I looked him up and apparently he’s been blind since the age of 50 with an inherited condition.
Not totally blind but severely visually impaired apparently-he still plays golf off a 9 handicap!
Not enough Ws to be Welsh.
Is that Brick Top from Snatch?Wazza broken them
Stockholme syndrome!
Yes, his (auto?)biography came out the other year, called Guiding Me Home And Away, and seemed to be well regarded.
