Disclaimer Alan J Thompson 1 Posted 14/02/2021 at 05:51:36 Received compensation for signing off, the modern day equivalent might be signing with a new club after being out of contract at the last one or a form of testimonial albeit John Dewar would have been about 30 years old at the time and only played one game for Everton.There was a time when retiring Everton players seemed to be found a pub to run; I remember Alex Parker running one in Runcorn. It might be interesting to see where and how players from before the 1970s ended up in retirement.
