Neil, good read that. I used to watch Aubrey Powell when he played for Everton in the late 1940's. I was in the boys pen at Goodison. The only other comment I would make is that there were no 'red cards' in the early 1900's.

Ahem, Stevenson. I knew him reasonably well when he was the landlord at the New Inn in Churwell, the pub which John Charles had a fair few years before him. I liked him though he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, so to speak

Was he not? In what way?

No disrespect but I won't answer that, there's nothing sinister in the comment, it's just Life isn't it?

as long as there was nothing sinister to it then i’m ok with it, fair enough

Sorry Neil, maybe we have crossed wires. I knew Byron pretty well and I liked him, what I meant was that as a landlord not everyone did like him, that's just how it is in the pub trade. I would never post anything scurrilous about him if I did know anything, thankfully I don't/didn't

yeah he wasnt the same player by all accounts when he moved to Everton. when were red cards introduced?

1976. Prior to that the referee pointed to the dressing room and entered it in his book. That was the year I 'hung my boots up', aged 40. Nothing to do with the introduction of red cards though!

I would have thought it was well before then. Learn something new every day!
