Everton were still a decent side in the 70s, close to the title in 74/75 (don't mention Carlisle United) and this season 77/78. At the time of this match we were still on a par with Liverpool in terms of league titles won but then they just left us behind. Apart from our brief resurgence in the mid-80s, this 1977 side was probably Everton's best since the 1960s, and arguably much underrated.

One of the great disasters of Everton's history, leaking the news that Bobby Robson was going to be the new boss in 1975. Considering the players and resources at his disposal at Everton compared to Ipswich, it's hard to imagine them not winning trophies in that 1975-83 period

What a team of entertainers and characters we had then, Andy King, Duncan Mckenzie, Georgie Wood, Dave Thomas, Mick Lyons, Bob Latchford probably my favourite Everton side since I first started watching them, great memories thanks for posting

Yes we all agree ....Duncan McKenzie is magic!...is magic!.......and Andy is our King...Andy is our King....yes Andy is our King!.....🎶

I can still picture Dave Thomas, socks rolled down and turning defenders inside out down the wing

What a line up...Kingy, Dobbo, Big Bob, Duncan and Dave Thomas....super toffees

Bobby Latchford walks on water

EVERTON! ONE OF THE FIRST TEAMS THAT I REMEMBER LOOKING LIKE A FOOTBALL TEAM. IN THOSE DAYS FOOTBALL TEAMS WERE JUST FOOTBALL TEAMS, NOWADAYS THE PLAYERS LOOK LIKE POP STARS OR YOUR MATES AS WELL AS LOOKING YOUNG.FINALLY SEEN FOOTAGE OF LEICESTER1-5 EVERTON! THAT ONLY TOOK ALMOST FORTY YEARS!

We had a good team in the late 70's under Gordon Lee, finishing 3rd and 4th in the league. All we needed was a top class keeper like Peter Shilton, and I think we probably would have won a trophy.

Cracking team and what a great away kit!

COR I REMEMBER THIS! SO IT WAS 1-5 NOT 0-5 (LAD-TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO ETC) EVERTON LATE SEVENTIES! WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC SIDE, MACKENZIE,LATCHFORD,KING ,HARVEY- MY FIRST SEASON SUPPORTING LEICESTER CITY! THEY ABSOLUTELY DEMOLISHED US. VERY TOUGH GAME JUST AS LIFE IS FOR SO MANY OF US! AW BEAUTIFUL TIMES. THOSE STRIPS!

Have just watched three big wins by Everton in that season. Never realised they were that good at that time (my first season was 80-81). Everton finished in 3rd, narrowly behind Liverpool with Forest champions by 9 points.

Great days following the blues💙💪💙

A thing of beauty that all Amber kit 🎉

COYB MY DAD TOOK ME THIS GAME WITH HIS DRINKING BUDDY ( ps to all this is not NICKI, I'm her other half. ) I remember it as it was my first away game. I also remember the atmosphere more than the game. We did not shut up. I also remember there was a bit of trouble, fighting etc etc. Looking back we didn't half a good team.

Still the best team of 77 78 what entertainment score goals for fun come on everton

No silverware but a good side didn't someone get 30?!

How noisy was our away support in those days? Scousers aggro ello..ello.

En france, on parlait beaucoup de Liverpool fc, pas d 'Everton. Qui étaient les joueurs de cette équipe ?

Was this the season Bob Latchford won a car by scoring 30 goals

Johan Apricot rip.

I remember these bizarre Leicester’s white church pew seats!

Bob please get your boots on again

Scousers aggri , Scousers aggro, hello hello 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 COYB

We all agree Duncan McKenzie is magic

Is it true Everton players have to sniff each others farts before they play as an ancient ritual?
