This is not so much a favourite match , as I can't really remember much about the actual game.I think it was a testimonial match (maybe for Wally Bennett) , and it was Everton XI v Skem at White Moss Park.Mustve been early 70s sometime. It was a genuine Everton team as well , not just youth team reserves. I think the legendary Alan Whittle, John Hurst,and Jimmy Husband were playing.
What I can deffo remember is that Gordon 'Mae' West was playing for the Toffees. At the end of the game I'd waited around for some autographs with a few others(as i was only young then , 27) ,and eventually the great man emerged from the clubhouse.
"Autograph please Gordon ?"
"F@*k Off !!" the ex-England legend replied
he then jumped in his car , and reversed it into the concrete fence next to the turnstiles putting a large dent in his prized motor (was probably a capri or similar) , before heading out of the carpark at top speed.
anybody remember the game,date,score ?
