    As a Birmingham supporter I was shattered when Bob was sold. My favourite ever Blues player, he would be priceless in today's market.

      Birmingham came up with Norwich in 1972 and they had a very good strike force. Also their centre half Roger Hynd was Bill Shankly's nephew.

    My hero. When footy was exciting. Non stop, ball forward early , great delivery from the wings. Games are boring to watch now- too much money.

    I loved watching Bob Latchford play, always in the right place and maximum effort. You always knew a goal would come, never out of the game when Bob was in the team.

    How big Bob had so few England caps is a mystery. But then again Colin Harvey only had one and Howard Kendall had none.

    • @fisherpeter695
      @fisherpeter695 10 місяців тому

      It was generally known that back in the 1960s the selection of England players, for matches at Wembley, had to include a huge contingent from London based clubs to guarantee a good gate for especially midweek internationals. Colin Harvey reached his peak in 1968 until 1970.
      I always believed his finest game was in the 1968 FA Cup Semi final at Old Trafford against the great Leeds United. The blues went into the game underdogs given they were without Alan Ball and John Hurst both at the top of their game around that time. Colin competed against Billy Bremner, John Giles and Eddie Gray in midfield and broke up play and linked up passing. Given the opposition and occasion it was world class. The great Alex Young came off the bench that day in the final few minutes, only for the Ref: David Smith a FiFA official blew the final whistle with only a minute over the 90, much to the anger of Don Revie the Leeds manager who had ordered his great headers Jack Charlton, Mick Jones and Paul Madeley into Everton's penalty area. Everton won 1-0 then lost to the much weaker West Brom in the Final, unable to cope with their 4-5-1 system
      Colin should have played ahead of Alan Ball in the 1970 world cup. The heat in Mexico never suited his game.

    Imagine having him in the side in the mid 80s with those players around him. He would have scored 40+

      Big Bob was so good that Bill Shankly wanted to sign him. There is a interview with Bob in which he tells that captain of Birmingham city who was Shankly's nephew told him that Shankly wanted him. But Bob told him that he had already agreed terms and signed for Everton.

    We have been blessed with great C.F.s .He was the best header, I ever saw. Gray would score impossible headers but placing it in the.net Latchford for me. Cahill Ducan Sharpy greats etc. Obviously lDixie and others I never saw. I can't comment.

    The definition of a burly frontman, saw him score 3 goals in a league cup tie against my team at Old Trafford, a much heralded young centre half called Paterson made his debut that night, he never really recovered from the mauling. A bad move by the Doc methinks.
