My biggest memory was him having a perfectly good goal ruled out in the infamous  5-4 win against newly crowned European champions manure. Cracking goal, think somebody else was judged to be offside.

And for those of us born after Noah had built his ark....

 

RIP Don

We never won the League under Don but when we were second to Spurs in their double year we lost a major game at White Hart Lane 2-1 and at a key point we had a good goal disallowed. Kay won the league at Everton. When Kay was suspended for life from football Everton tried to sue us for the transfer fee but failed.

Was Catterick still our Manager when Kay commited the offence, Bri?

Yes I believe Catterick was in charge then, when he went Everton he made them champions after coming back for Kay. Kay has his own coffee bar/cafe in Southport where he still puts a shift in despite being in his mid 80s.

Cheers, bri.

It just feels a bit strange to be have been sued by them when his manager at the time of the offences was their manager when they tried to sue us.  Presumably they felt it wasn't owt to do with him.  (Not the offence but the legal situation.)
