Fascinating stuff as usual, Tony. I wonder if our new home will be situated in the same location as our 'original' home? ... i.e. do either of the sites really exist?

Are you Tony Onslow who used to live in Macketts Close Woolton? I think I used to go to the match with you in the late 50's and early 60's

Many thanks, Tony. Can't beat a bit of early Everton history. Love the local tenants, including Maggie Smith and Henry Moore.

Great article..... when I saw the title I thought it was about WHP..... thankfully it was a much more factual read.

I love the social history almost as much as the football side of it.

Looking at the residents of Priory Road in those days, including a 'master mariner' and a 'gentleman', it was obviously a very desirable area to live In.

Walking through Anfield Cemetery last week to the game was fascinating, massive marble based family tombs, including the grave of Liverpool FC's chairman from the 1950s, who was born in Dyserth.

Fascinating stuff

If Cruitt was born in '36 and died in '98 he wasn't 52 at the time of his death. :)

Great read though.

Fascinating research Tony. I wonder if some of the older fans going to Goodison years later would have said "when I were a lad this were all fields".

Love a bit of history, thanks, Tony.

Am I the only one to be disturbed to read in one of those lists, a certain William Wilson listed as a butcher .... in a cemetery?
