Refused to match Stoke City's £325,000 bid for Shilton from Leicester in 1974, stopping at £300,000. Imagine being outbidded by fcuking STOKE?? Shilton wanted to come to Everton.

The signing would have won us one, possibly 2 or 3 league titles. Definitely 1975, and possibly 78 and 79.

The FA cup semi v Liverpool. Couldn't see Shilton letting in either of the RS goals Lawson did. Or the ones in the League cup final replay at OT.


The only real position we were weakest was the GK. He was happy with Lawson and Davies, and Laterly George "you've dropped something" Wood.

For that reason, I'm out.
