The Golden Boys became the GBs (also the Hornets) when they exchanged blue and white for old gold and black in 1959-60, this marking a brilliant season at the end of which they were promoted to the old Division 3. The photo is of the team for this season which includes in the front row centre Cliff Holton (46 goals in that campaign) and Dennis Uphill to his right (36 goals).
Yellow Red and Black Cashmere Bar Scarf
The classic bar design scarf, measuring 143cm x 20cm and beautifully packaged in a branded presentation box, is manufactured by one of the oldest cashmere mills in Scotland.
Undoubtedly one of the world's most sumptuous items of clothing for the discerning football fan.
Cashmere wool is one of the most precious natural fibres known to man, and is characterized by its incredible softness and warmth without bulk.
Harvested from cashmere goats in Mongolia, the fine underwool is carefully selected, with each goat annually producing enough wool for a single Savile Rogue scarf.
Everton V Watord 1984 FA Cup Final
Quite simply...an afternoon that no self-respecting Evertonian will ever forget. It was a day of enduring images - Elton John's tears before the game, Andy Gray's controversial goal during it, and John Bailey's over-sized spectacles afterwards!
But more importantly, it was the day that Everton's 14-year search for silverware finally ended and the sight of Kevin Ratcliffe, at the age of 23, lifting the most famous trophy in domestic football was a wonderful one.
Re-live the match in its entirety as Everton fully lived up to their billing as pre-match favourites at Wembley.
The Hornets had their moments, but The Toffees were never going to be denied and the 'Tartan Terrors', Graeme Sharp and Andy Gray, wrote their names into Everton folklore with a goal each to bring the Cup back to Goodison for the first time since 1966.
Earlier in that 1983-84 season, Howard Kendall had been on the verge of actually losing his job as Everton manager but the Board, to their eternal credit, rode the storm, confident that their man would come good.
He did...and this was the day that confirmed, beyond any doubt, that Everton were, once again, a force to be reckoned with.
The Toffees went on to even greater achievements after winning the FA Cup in 1984, but don't they say the first time is the sweetest?,p>
May 19th 1984 was the day that Everton Football Club announced to the football world: "We are back!"
