It is often stated that Gordon West’s time at Everton ended in 1973, around the same time as Harry Catterick stood aside. He had just turned 30. As Paul Owens documents in his new article, Westy was still playing in the reserves until the autumn of 1974: efcheritagesociety.com/gordon-west-...

Born on this day in 1954, Mick Ferguson. The striker was one of Howard Kendall’s ‘magnificent seven’ signings in the summer of 1981. Injuries blighted his career and he made just 12 appearances for the Toffees, but he did score the winner against his former club, Coventry City.

Bertie Freeman, born 1 October 1885, was one of the finest pre-WW1 strikers. Only Dixie Dean has scored more league goals in a season for the Toffees. He was sold, too soon, to Burnley and continued scoring goals by the hatful.

Happy 80th birthday to Gerry Glover. One off the production line of talent at EFC in the 1960s, Gerry, who made four senior appearances, won the FA Youth Cup with the Toffees in 1965. He revisited Goodison with his teammates on the 50th anniversary of that triumph.
