75 today!! All the best, Alex   No more Tv licence fee for you  Slightly before my time. But even me 'arl fella (Dirty red, but used to go to both) agrees he was one of the best centre-forwards he's seen. So good, they made a play on the telly about him - long before the days of the incessant media saturation of the likes of beckham. (Did I ever mention that I'm probably the only person other than the club, the f.a., and Alex himself; to own a copy of his Everton contract?  ) |

You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

I had the pleasure of meeting the great man at a function in the Holiday Inn last year , (or was it the year before?) , He was not in the greatest of health but I believe he's much better now . There were a few other Everton Centre Forwards there that night , Joe Royle , Latch , Mike Newell , amongst others , but the star was the Golden Vision himself . His biography by Dr France is a great book and the play ' The Golden Vision' can be seen in about 8 different parts on Youtube . |

Once Everton has touched you nothing will be the same"
Alan Ball
" Notoriously shy and laconic off the field, Dean's quotes are sparse. He is reputed to have said to an over-enthusiastic marker 'I'm going for a pee. You coming?' "

one of my all time heroes I use to have Roy Vernon as my No 1 player but the Golden Vision replaced him ,for those that did not see him play live look on you tube for his goal at Goodison against Man Utd ,one of the greatest goals Goodison has seen

one of the very best
makes me laugh when the kids on here call any of the current squad legends or great players, not a patch on alex young, not even baines is of the same quality.
