A classic and iconic performance from Everton, thrashing Coventry 6-0 with the help of a Bob Latchford hat-trick and a Dave Thomas wing-wizard master-class

Dave Thomas...what a great player. We were so lucky at Pompey to have him play for us.

44 yrs ago. Remember that great tv-broadcasted game to the danish viewers. The day I became a blues fan. And still am despite poor conditions according to the good times from the mid 80s.

Davey Tomas could drop a ball on a sixpence from 40yrds away. 4 assists in this game, and probably over 75% assists for all the goals Everton scored that season.

What a winger Dave Thomas was....Brilliant

@johnt7630 3 жыл бұрын

Thomas only received 8 caps for England. He joins that long list of flair players - Rodney Marsh, Worthington, Hudson, Osgood, Bowles, Currie etc.. who hardly got any caps. No wonder England failed to qualify for the World Cup in 74 and 78.

It was a very good and entertaining Everton team Thomas played in, but like the West Brom team of roughly the same time, they were destined never to win a trophy.

Reliving some great moments from that era, couldn't agree more about Dave Thomas brilliant winger, he must have had a huge number of assists for Bob Latchford that season, how much would those 2 be worth nowadays?, Football was so much better in those days, none of this play acting and cheating that drives me mad now

Tony Lathom: You mean 'crosses' let's leave the 'Americanized 'Assists' for the modern, crappy, money driven cheating version of the game we're stuck with today. Anyway I was at the game. Brilliant. In that era we used to give Coventry and, ironically, Chelsea a good hiding on a regular basis. Sigh!

Brilliant Everton side. Thomas tearing down the left wing constantly putting balls into the box that Latchford put away with extraordinary consistency throughout that 77/78 season. Came a bit undone on Boxing day when they were beaten 2-6 at home by Man Utd.

@iandavid8925 Ай бұрын

From Lartington. Usually see him in Clarendons with his guide dog Hannah. He could easily swap wings and place a ball on a sixpence with either foot. Great player, top bloke all round.

Late on in the game, me Dad said to me “come on son, let’s go they’ll be no more goals now and we can miss the rush” Got home singin 5-0, 5-0 to my sister, a red, “6-0” she said, “you can’t even count”. Never forgiven him for me missing Bobby’s third!!!
