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.

Gary Speed, born on this day, 57 years ago. A big, positive impact playing for his boyhood club after arriving from Leeds Utd. His departure was the Toffees’ loss, but he continued to deliver excellence on the pitch for Newcastle United, Bolton Wanderers, Sheffield Utd. & Wales. Greatly missed.
