AN OFFER FOR YOUNG LIKELY
The Liverpool Echo and Evening Express- Friday, June 4, 1965
HEARTS, RANGERS INTERESTED
By Leslie Edwards
Although directors of Hearts met earlier this week and were reported not to have decided to go for Alex Young of Everton I understand they will make an offer for the player within the next few days. Rangers are also said to be interested in Young. The record fee paid for a player by a Scottish club is less than £30,000. It is felt that hearts will not be able to offer Everton the very attractive sun which would tempt them to part with the player.

EVERTON ENCLAVE
The Liverpool Echo and Evening express- Tuesday, June 8, 1965
When Netherfield Road was a tree-lined lane, and larks sang above the Breck (bracken) of Beacon Hill, Middle Lane (renamed Everton Terrace In 1817) which wandered from Rupert Hill to Hillside (now St. George's Hill) was an important way. This was because of mansions built up the escarpment, dominating the view, and housing the wealthy magnificent known as the Everton Nobles. In 1770. Clarke, the banker, whose son was an intimate of Roscoe's, built his house on the topmost ridge of this Everton Enclave. In 1806, the house was acquired by Nicholas Waterhouse, the Quaker, the passage running beneath the trees between the house-wall and kitchen-garden being named Waterhouse Lane. The view from here was superb. From the craggy eminence's foot, and beyond the lane, meadows, fields and lush paddocks rolled away to Kirkdale Village. To westward rose the Welsh hills, and beyond the estuary spread the sea. Cuthbert Bridgwater.

EVERTON WILL HAVE A SPECIAL INVITATION

Although they have not been told officially yet, Everton understand they will be playing in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup next season. The organisers of the competition will be making a special invitation to the club. Normally, only two Football League clubs are permitted to enter, and Leeds United and Chelsea qualified as second and third in the First Division last season. In fact, there was a reference at the recent annual general meeting of the League which indicated that Everton (fourth in the League) would not be in any European competition next season. President Joe Richards congratulated the six clubs which will be playing in Europe next winter -and named them as Manchester United (European Cup), Liverpool, West Ham and Cardiff City (European Cup Winners Cup), Leeds and Chelsea (Inter-Cities Fairs Cup). No mention of Everton. Since then, however, the Fairs Cup people have appreciated the attraction of Everton after their money-spinning games in the competition last season. These are quiet days in the football transfer world.
ON HOLIDAY
Everton manager is having a week off at present. There is still no news from Goodison about the possibility of Brian Harris moving, although Plymouth Argyle still remain very interested in him.

THIS IDEA SHOULD HELP EVERYONE IN GAME
The Liverpool Echo and Evening Express – Tuesday, June 15, 1965
By Michael Charters
Everton Manager Harry Catterick has long felt that something should be done over the problems of controlling a football game- the things which turn minor incidents into major ones -and appreciates that the approach of many players to the work of the referee in the crux of the matter. Now he has done something concrete about it with an idea which could be copied to advantage by other clubs. He ahs written to the Football League Referee’s and linesmen’s Association about the misunderstanding which occur between players and officials and create unnecessary friction on both sides during a match. He asked them to send a representative to Goodison Park to talk to the Everton playing staff to give the referee’s point of view and to hear the player’s view at first hand. They have readily agreed to do this, describing it as an excellent idea, and a senior member of the Association will be coming to Goodison before the start of next season to conduct this round-the-table session which can do nothing but good. The Everton players report for training on July 22 and the talk will be arranged between then and the opening of the programme on August 21. Anything that can be done to improve discipline on the pitch must be welcomed. If players and officials can learn more about each other’s problems so much the better for everyone, including spectators, who have been alarmed at some of the indiscipline last season. We knew that football is very big business these days, but if players can remember that it is also a game to be played in the right spirit, with the referee there to see that it is so, the imagine of the game will be improved out of all recognition.
THE RIGHT TIPS
Mr. Catterick is also hopeful that another of his ideas about control of the game will be accepted just as happily by the Referees’ Association. He would like to see meetings between referees and club managers and or coaches, so that the professional men in this highly professional game can put the referees wise on some of the tricks players get away with during a match. Only a man who has played in league football, and now has a managerial career in the game, can appreciate some of the things which go on and which unfortunately, often go unpunished because the referee is not alive to them.  The foot-over-the-ball tackle, the jersey tugging in a goalmouth skirmish the sly dig in the back, in other words all the incidents which can be grouped under the heading of provocation-these must be stamped out, or otherwise the man who retaliates is going to continue to be punished more severely than the original offender.  Mr. Catterick’s view is that it takes a professional to know what a professional is getting away with out there on the pitch. He believes managers would be pleased to give referees useful tips in this direction, and it is no use officials saying they know all the answers of many games, they don’t.  the Referees’ Association should be as willing to learn from manager as they have shown themselves prepared to help the Everton playing staff. It is to Mr. Catterick’s credit he has come forward with these ideas.
EVERTONW WAIT
There have been no further moves over three Everton players whose names have been linked with other clubs. Mr. Catterick told me that he has not heard anything further from Plymouth Argyle, interested in Brian Harris, or from Hearts who made an inquiry some weeks ago about Alex Young. Alex Parker is still keen to find a player-manager position and there was some talk that he might go to Southport. But ex-Everton winger Billy Bingham goes there under a new title.

YOUNG FOOTBALLERS SWOP SIDES
The Liverpool Echo and Evening Express- Thursday, June 17 1965
SIGNED BY LIVERPOOL AND EVERTON
The endless argument of red v blue has come to a very strange end for two young Huyton footballers, as long as they can remember, neighbours and workmates Raymond Graham and Michael Flexon have argued about their favourites, Everton and Liverpool. But now the Ea-aye-addoes  have come to an abrupt halt for Michael, the Evertonian has been signed by Liverpool and Koppite Graham has gone to Goodison.
BETTER TERMS
The lads so impressed local talent scouts when playing for Huyton Schoolboys that Michael was signed as an apprentice professional-by the Anfield club and Graham has signed amateur forms for Everton. “Being a supporter I would rather have gone to Everton, but Liverpool offered the better terms,” said Michael last night, sporting an Anfield club badge on his blazer, and carrying a haversack bearing the names of all the Everton team. “I’ll always be an Evertonian- really I suppose I’m a missionary-but I will play my best for Liverpool,” he said. Said Raymond; “I don’t know what it’s going to be like to wear a blue shirt. I suppose I’ll get used to it eventually.” 
TROPHY FOR EVERTON
The Walter Smith Cup won by Everton A team when they won the first division of the Lancashire Football League last season, was yesterday presented to manager Harry Catterick in Blackpool by Mr. W.S. Lines (president) at the League’s annual meeting. Manchester United won the second division championship.

CITY MAY HELP EVERTON F.C TENANTS
The Liverpool Echo and Evening Express- Thursday, June 24 1965
GOODISON EXTENTIONS
DEBATE ROW
Liverpool City Council will be asked to give some help to families displaced by plans to extend Goodison Park in time for next year’s World Cup series, but the council will not accept responsibility for rehousing them as the club had asked. The decision to help on condition that Everton Football Club also helps, was made after a stormy debate at the General Purposes Committee yesterday, and is subject to confirmation by the council at its meeting on July 7.  The recommendation is that Everton F.C should themselves make a grant on a variable basis to each of the nine tenants of the cottages in Goodison Avenue owned by them, the grant to be dependent on their circumstances to enable them to find themselves another house. In the case of any old age pensioner who may be affected it is suggested that the club might make a 100 per cent grant.
LOANS FOR HOMES
Should any of the displaced families want to buy a new home it is further suggested that the Corporation should be prepared to lend the balance of the money required over and above the grant made by the club. Originally the committee had before them a recommendation that the cost of rehousing at £25,000, should be borne by the City council, but this was opposed on the grounds that any improvement carried out to Everton’s ground would eventually redound to the club’s benefit, and it was wrong that public money should be used for this purpose. The cottages are required by the club for demolition so that the main stand can be enlarged and other facilities and amenities provided. A Government grant towards the cost of preparing the ground has already been announced. The General Purposes Committee decided to make a grant of £250 to the International Eisteddfod being stages in Llangollen next month. This compares with a grant of £50 made by the Water Committee recently in aid of the National Esteddfod of Wales to be held Newton in August.

HOMES OR FOOTBALL
The Liverpool Echo and Evening Express- Friday, June 25 1965
Liverpool General Purposes Committee is to ask the City Council to assist nine families who will be displaced by plans to extend Goodison Park in time for next year's World Cup games, provided Everton Football Club also help. The club had asked that the council should accept responsibility for rehousing these people, and a resolution was, in fact, before the committee that the cost of rehousing them. £25,000, should be borne by the City Council. The objection made to this was that the improvements to the ground would eventually be to the club's benefit, and it was wrong that public money should be used for this purpose. Whatever the rights and wrongs of this matter as between Everton Football Club and the City Council, one thing is abundantly clear; the lives and homes of nine families are of far more importance than any football match. These people should be looked after and looked after properly. If the public sense of values is such that extensions to Everton football ground have a higher priority than people's homes, and if football and the World Cup games count above anything else, than it is reasonable that the city should foot the bill. But the most equitable solution would appear to be the one that the committee suggest.
EVERTON PLAYERS
The players Wages;- At Everton the position is very different because all players had signed contracts for next season several weeks ago. The linking of Brian Harris, the Everton wing half, with Plymouth Argyle continues but it is unlikely that any business will be done. Plymouth made an offer for Harris which was far below the value Everton placed on him and there the matter rests.
