Ian callaghan. 
 
19 yrs as a player, and more than 800 games for Liverpool, hard to believe the fans could ever have disliked him. He allways seemed to give 100%, when I saw him play against Ipswich. Maybe he was still being picked when past his best!
 
 
Emlyn Hughes OBE RIP.
 
The guy was larger than life, and wore his heart on his sleeve.
I remember watching this match on telly in the early 70s at Goodison Park, eventual score; Everton 0 Liverpool 2.
There was a football song at the time, I think started by Spurs fans for Cyril Knowles. Anyway Emlyn scored the first goal and the fans started singing -
Nice one Emlyn 
Nice one Son
Nice one Emlyn
Lets have another one.
So Emlyn does one of his marauding runs from his own penalty area, dribbles past a couple of Everton players and rifles the ball in the net.
The Liverpool fans go delirious and continue the song for the rest of the match.
 
 
Talking about Goodison Park, I have been there four times watching Ipswich. Last time I went there, we were seated in the corner of the Bullens Rd Stand, well all I can say is bloody pillars! 
As for the scouse pies, I think they spilt a whole bottle of Worcester sauce in mine (never again). 
The one good thing about watching Everton v Ipswich, I could wear my blue and white scarf and mingle with their fans even in the 70's(as long as I kept my mouth shut).
