Late 70s early 80s bob latchford was a brilliant striker. Remember him banging in goals for Everton like it was yesterday.

What a LEGEND. I was 9 when Bob signed for Everton. Just as I was taking an interest in the Mighty Blues. A joy to watch. Powerhouse, fantastic goal scorer.

What a superb centre forward he was. Watched him many times for Everton. That period where he got the service from Dave Thomas on the wing was memorable. Always comes across as a nice, affable guy when interviewed too, very modest for one who was so talented.

Totally agree. For me it was Latchford, Dave Thomas and Andy King. My heroes in the 70s. Blue forever - it all started in november ´77 after the 6-0 win at Goodison against Coventry. A transmitted game on danish tv. Everton will be with me untill I die.

@@kennethpickeringsrensen9478 Exactly the same here. Bob was my only ever real idol, and on 26th of Nov 1977 (the Coventry game) I realized ”I was born, not manufactured” - because of Bob. 👍🏽

Regular at Goodison from early 60s and saw Bob in his first full season there, 1974-75. Signed by Billy Bingham in Feb 1974 he led the blues to the top of the league in April 75 only to lose to lowly Carlisle, and 3-2 at home to Sheffield United after leading 2-0 at half time. Which cost them the title That side was well served by Martin Dobson, Dave Clements, Gary Jones, Mike Lyons and Roger Kenyon. I saw the blues get great results at Derby then a great side, Spurs, Leeds and Man City all top teams If they had won three more games the title was theirs instead Liverpool came through to start their domination. Bob and Gordon Lee's sides played also played well in the league and FA cup 77, 80. and 81. What would todays team be like if they had Bob in an around the opposition penalty area ? He did after all: Walk on Water !
