LYTHGOE CUP FINAL
May 2 1934. Liverpool Post and Mercury
Marine Test Everton Side
Everton Reserves 3 Marine 1
By their 3-1 victory over Marine at Anfield Everton won the R.E. Lythgoe Cup. That the amateurs were able to hold a strong Everton side to a couple of goals was indeed a meritorious performance. Redfern in the first half, and Davies after the interval, sent in shots that required all the skill of the agile King to save. The Marine defence can claim the credit for fully extending the Goodison attack. It was a great game, and when Redfern scored for Marine to equalise a goal by Bentham it was anyone's game for although Everton were doing most of the attacking, there was a tendency to over elaborate. Higham scored to give Everton the interval lead. Higham scored in the second half. It was a great cup-tie. Everton: - King goal; Jackson and Bocking, backs; Mercer, Clark and Archer, half-backs; Critchley, Bentham, Higham, Stevenson, and Turner forwards. Marine: - H.J. Drury, goal; N. Kerr and D. Farmer, backs; M. Worsley, A.S. Kelly, F. Fradley, half-backs; R. F. A White, J. K. Morgan G. Davies, W. J. Redfern, J. Garvey.

EVERTON F.C.'S TOUR.
May 2 1934. Evening Express.
14 –Players to Visit Teneriffe
By the Pilot.
Everton will take 14 players on their forthcoming tour to Tenerife. These include a goalkeeper, three backs, three half-backs, and seven forwards. The tourists will be: Sagar; Williams, Cook, Cresswell; Britton, Gee, Thomson; Geldard, Higham, Dean Cunliffe, Stevenson, Stein, Coulter. They are due to leave Liverpool on Thursday of next week and three matches will be played at Tenerife. The Lord Major of Liverpool (Mr. G. A. Strong) is taking a personal interest in the tour, and has arranged to entertain the Everton directors and players to luncheon at the Town Hall on Tuesday.
Team To Meet Villa.
Everton conclude their football League programme on Saturday when they entertained Aston Villa at Goodison Park. The eleven will show three changes as compared with that which lost at Sunderland on Saturday 3-2. Cook, the Irish International left back, returns to his regular position for the first time since injuring a knee in the match at Wolverhampton on March 31. He takes the place of Cresswell. Stein, after playing in two matches at outside right, reverts to his customary position at outside-left in place of Coulter while Geldard resumes on the right wing. Everton have won only four league games at Goodison Park in 1934, and have drawn five times. They have a splendid chance of improving this record and winding up the season with a victory. The Villa have not enjoyed a good season, but they are one of the most attractive football combinations in the country and always serve up delightful fare. Everton; Sagar; Williams, Cook; Britton Gee, Thomson; Geldard, Higham, Dean, Stevenson, Stein.
Prenton Final.
Tonight Everton oppose Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park in the final of the Birkenhead Hospitals Cup. Dean has been chosen to lead the forwards and so will be opposing the team from which he was transferred to Everton eight seasons ago. Everton have selected a strong team, King and Watson (T.G.) being the only two not to have played for the first eleven. Everton; King; Bocking, Cresswell; Mercer, Clark, Watson (T.G.); Critchley, Dunn, Dean, Cunliffe, Coulter.

ASTON VILLA SIGN ON ANOTHER PRESCOT CABLES PLAYER 
Evidently the Ville are well satisfied with Haycock, the inside forward,  secured from Prescot some weeks back, as last night the Aston club signed on W. Roberts, the Cables' left half, the transfer fee, it is understood, being a substantial one.  Prior to joining Prior Cables, Roberts (a city youth) was on the Liverpool books, 1932-33season, but was not kept.  Sines his inclusion in the Prescot first team this season he has come on well, and has developed into one of the most reliable halves in the Cheshire County League.  Roberts is a grandson of Mr. E. A. Bainbridge the former chairman of Everton F.C. and director of Liverpool Football Club.

THE INNER STORY OF THE SCOTT CASE
Liverpool Echo - Wednesday 02 May 1934
Bee’s Notes
Having come back from the final tie week end I discover to my astonishment that somebody has to be blamed for the Elisha Scott- Liverpool-Everton business and, of course, when there are millions of people in this world, the people who ought to know better pick on me! That is a just cause for my further reference to a very important matter that ended on Thursday last when it so happened I had to go out of town.  I shall not waste term or time upon the matter, but for the sake of my name in this city I must put the facts before the public. Scott came to me with venom against his club. He said many things, but in essence he wanted to play for another team and so "show them up." Scott actually wrote a letter to Everton F.C. asking the chairman to interview him, and, if terms were right, sign for them. Scott saw Hr. W. C. Cuff, the Everton chairman, and then negotiations started for the signing.  Let us skip the rest for the moment, remembering that Scott says he would not kick a ball for his club if they gave him a thousand pounds. Scott actually signs the Football Association, League and Central League forms for Everton. Hence my statement that Scott had signed for Everton. Liverpool meet at a board meeting, at many meetings; time passes on; they contend Scott is their player till May 5, and there is much to be said for that line of argument; but on Thursday last Scott precedes me to my office, and on arrival I find him with the signed papers in his pocket. He is going to Anfield and will "give them the papers and they would have to release him."  He is still unkind in his comments about his club and all connected with it. He harps upon the note that they thought he was retiring yet they "hoped he would soon get another club." He had got another club, but Liverpool would not part company to the club across the park, albeit Everton could, if they desired, remind Liverpool of a signing from Goodison to Anfield not more than a month ago, when Everson not only "gave Johnson away to help Liverpool to escape relegation, but also hurried on the transfer so that Johnson could help them to victory next day—and the price asked was about a half what any other club would have been asked—and paid! So we reach Thursday's meeting at midday.  I am en route for London: Scott is entitled to change his mind; he does so, and this is the letter I get from him:-
Please do not think too harshly of me. I packed the whole business up to-day at 11.30. Do not think that Liverpool persuaded me in any way.  I just all in a moment decided to go out of the game with colours flying, the same proud Elisha Scott when the cheers of the Kop were waiting to welcome me. I think since I came to Liverpool twenty-one years ago, your praise of me made me inspired to live up to that great reputation you built for me. Now I go into retirement, I am sure with all your best wishes, everything that has been done will be kept a secret between us. I will, for my part, remain silent, and there is just one more request I want of you before I leave tonight—thank the Kop for the years I have left behind; their Cheers will live forever in my memory.  I have left myself in the hands of the Liverpool board for the tier being; I know they will be generous. Well, Ernie, goodbye and good luck. I will call and see you when you return from London, probably next Thursday.  So goodbye for the present. –Yours, ELISHA SCOTT
Scott had very generously offered me a tenner if he signed “to show his gratitude.” I had no desire and had no need for any such offering; but I rather liked the thought of his appreciation, even though in a recent year when I had written a life story for him (and a colleague), neither of whom could produce the story, according to their own statements, the promise of some very special Irish linen was still marked “non-arrival.” I have simply gone back to the troublous topic because in fairness to myself and this newspaper it was necessary to do so. 

BIRKENHEAD HOSPITAL CUP
May 3, 1934. Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury
Tranmere Rovers Beat Everton
Tranmere Rovers defeated a mixed Everton side, by 3-1 at Prenton Park last night in a charity game for the Birkenhead Hospital Cup, before about 3,000 spectators. The game as a spectacle was rather disappointing, and it was very obvious that members on both sides were playing in a very leisurely fashion and in certain instances this was carried to such an extreme as to become farcical. Everton opened promisingly enough, and for ten minutes played really classic football without, however, applying the necessary finish to make it manifest. Bell, on one occasion got in a fast low drive which King cleverly turned aside at full length, and the other end Dean once flicked the ball to Coulter, who should have done better than fire over from close in. After half an hour Everton forced a corner, on the left, and from this Cunliffe headed into the net. The lead was short-lived, for in seven minutes Urmson middled the ball, and after King out of goal, had made a save. Bell headed in, and although King turned the ball against the post the referee held that it had crossed the line.
Mercer's Run.
One of the best runs of the game was made by Mercer, who ran from the half-way line, and finished with a rousing drive, which crashed into the side netting. Tranmere took the lead two minutes after the first goal. Glaser heading through from a perfect centre by Pearson. There was little to enthuse over in the second half, during which Watts headed a third goal for Tranmere. Dean reappearing on the ground from which he stepped into fame, played very quietly and was scarcely seen the game through, much to the disappointment of the old admirers. Cresswell as usual was a polished defender and he was here there and everywhere, doing things in his own effective way to give point to a game that promised to be very poor. Mercer was earnest enough, and Cunliffe was an enterprising forward, but received no support. On the home side, Platt, Fishwick, Spencer, Glasper, and Bell were the most prominent. Result
Tranmere Rovers 3, Everton 1
Teams: - Tranmere Rovers: - Gray, goal; Platt and Warren, backs; Thomas, Fishwick, and Spencer, half-backs; Pearson, Watts, Bell, Glasper, and Urmson forwards. Everton: - King, goal; Bocking, Cresswell, backs; Mercer, Clark and Watson, half-backs; Birtley, Dunn, Dean (captain), Cunliffe, and Coulter, forwards.

BEE’S NOTES
Liverpool Echo - Thursday 03 May 1934
It is not my desire to be perverse or persevere with the new famous case of Scott-Liverpool-Everton-and  myself, but in a clearance of my pockets I find two letters from the player, one dated Friday week, in which he says," I think the loyal Anfielders are upsetting the directors more than you and me. If you know of any Second or Third Division club wanting goalkeeper I am prepared to go to them."  Then comes the letter of Wednesday evening, the day before the revoke. This is the main portion of it:—" Liverpool say I cannot be transferred until after Tuesday's meeting. Also, they are denying in the Press that there has been any conference over my transfer. They must have forgotten that Mr. MacIntosh has been at Anfield all day until five o'clock, and that I wrote to Everton for an engagement. I told them I gave you the interview at 1 30 on Wednesday, and that I  was signing for Everton in the afternoon, but, unfortunately, there is a hitch. I don't know what for."
"Turncoat " says:—Re the main topic of conversation in tram, bus, or office, the one and only Elisha Scott. Why the change? Were Liverpool afraid of losing support and Everton having record attendances? If Scott was considered good enough to play for Everton, and admitted to be still a great, or in my opinion the greatest goalkeeper, why is he not retained by Liverpool? 
"Bective" says:—l overheard this conversation in Brook House. Evidently your average reader thinks the ways and means of the heathen Chinee are as clear as crystal compared with your.
No. 1.—Fancy Scott getting the sack and going to the Blues! Serve them right after all he's done for Anfield. 
No. 2 —Rats! Can't you see the dodge? Old Bee is a Liverpudlian, and he is raising a stink about him going to Everton, so the Liverpool directors will get the wind up and retain him. 
No. 3.—You're both thick. I'll tell you the wheeze. All this sporting gang are as thick as thieves and as crooked as they make them. (Confidentially. I get to know the inside workings in my office down town).  'You are partly right Jack (says No. 2). Bee and Scott are working this between them; he is kidding on in the, Echo. Everton are signing him, which to anybody with common sense in ridiculous, when they have got a beauty like Sager. Liverpool will get windy, thinking of all the Kopites watching Everton Res , and their Elisha for 6d, and they will offer Scott a few hundred to retire. He will do so, and Bee will get a nice slice of it for his share of the swag, and there you are, gentlemen, easy.
Nos. I and 2.—Well! We'll he (adjectives)—all the deadbeats and so on.  Of course it never seems to occur to these brilliants that it would only need Everton's prompt and indignant denial of any negotiations with Scott to wreck this wonderful scheme. But lam afraid after the way it has turned out in the eyes of three people your character is damned forever. In future note the Chinese proverb: "Man who grows beautiful garden will never slit honourable grandfather's throat." 

EVERTON'S RICH FINISH VERSUS ASTON VILLA
Liverpool Echo - Friday 04 May 1934
Bee’s Notes
Everton's final task is interesting.  Aston Villa hare just weathered a League storm, and yet in the Cup-tie they went as far as the semi-final, and there is no doubt there is still the flair and fashion around the famous Claret and Blue side, especially when they are up against Everton, because there is an old friendly feud between the two teams dating back to 1897 when a final tie produced five goals in the first half —three to Villa and two to Everton. So the old folk had some of the best Cup final sensations. Everton have Dean at centre and Stevenson and Stein on the left flank again. It ought In he a fitting final with so attractive as visitors. Team.  Everton; Sagar; Williams, Cook; Britton, Gee, Thomson; Geldard, Higham, Dean, Stevenson, Stein. 

EVERTON DRAW 2-2
May 5 1934. Evening Express, Football Edition
Poor Game With Aston Villa.
Each Side Misses Penalty.
By the Pilot.
Gardiner, the Bootle-born player, who is to tour with the F.A. team appeared in the Aston Villa side against Everton today at Goodison Park. The attendance was on the small side . Teams: - Everton: - Sagar goal; Williams and Cook, backs; Britton, Gee and Thomson, half-backs; Geldard, Higham, Dean (captain), Stevenson and Stein, forwards. Aston Villa: - Morton, goal; Blair and Nibloe, backs; Gardiner, Gibson and Kingdom, half-backs; Houghton, Beresford, Astley, Dix, and Cunliffe, forwards. Referee Mr. T. Thompson Lymington-to-Tyne. Everton got away at the outset Thomson's far-flung pass to Geldard bringing a delightful centre which Stevenson headed in accurately. Morton reached high up with his right hand to bring off a commendable save. Stevenson got Everton on the move again, Higham coming forward too fast to take advantage of Dean's pass. Higham twice broke through, Dean heading against the side netting from one of his centres. Then Stevenson frittered away a fine opportunity by holding on when his colleagues were in position for a pass. The Villa right wing, helped by the alert Gardiner, was a menace, but Astley's shot travelled wide. Astley shot straight at Sagar after a lovely “flick” pass by Dix. At 11 minutes Everton took the lead, Stevenson scoring his first League goal since joining the club from Glasgow Rangers. A poor clearance by Gibson enabled Dean to send Geldard away, but his centre was turned aside to Stevenson who hit the ball first time with his right foot and give the unpositioned Morton no possible chance.
Sagar Saves Penalty
Three minutes later the Villa were awarded a penalty. From a centre from Houghton, Astley leapt higher than Sagar and headed direct to the net. It appeared a certain goal, but Williams assumed the role of goalkeeper and made a brilliant one-handed save. The referee immediately awarded a penalty, which was taken by Houghton, whose terrific shot travelled to the right of Sagar, who shot his right hand out and fisted the ball away. It was a mighty save. The luck was against the Villa, for unquestionably Astley's header was worthy of a goal. The Villa then forced six corners in succession. From two of these Sagar had to turn the ball over the bar. Later Dix drove fiercely against the net support. Everton had a close up free kick taken by Stein, whose shot struck Beresford on the head and dazed him. Sagar then fisted the ball away from Astley's head. In half an hour Everton had a penalty, and though Stein had two “bites” at it he failed to score. Blair knocked down a Stein centre with his hand and the outside left drove the spot kick straight at Morton. Morton could not hold the ball, which came back straight to the feet of Stein who again placed it direct to Morton who was kneeling on the ground. His is the second penalty in successes, which Everton have missed. Some of Everton's passing was poor, but the wind was undoubtedly aiding the Villa. Astley drove through a bunch of players, Thomson kicking off the goal line. Higham juggled neatly to get Geldard through and Dean appeared to be fouled when he leaped through for a header. Everton got their first corner four minutes from the interval. Morton fisting away just before Gardiner had made a wonderful recovery after falling down when menaced by Stevenson.
Villa Draw Level.
The Villa drew level two minutes before the interval through Astley. There was neat interpassing between the forwards and Dix turned the ball in for Astley to swing round and score with a surprise shot from 18 yards. Sagar appeared slow in going down. Morton then went full length to save from Higham after a glorious dribble by Stein.
Half-time Everton 1 Aston Villa 1.
In the first half the hard ground, light ball and wind had militated against accurate football; yet there was plenty of incident. The football from both sides in the opening period of the second half was bad. Everton's forward work being below standard. There was little incident. One shot from Stein and headers from Geldard and Dean being the only likely scoring efforts. Williams was the one Everton player without fault. Most of the other endeavours were purely elementary. Everton adopted a policy of banging the ball into the goalmouth and this kept Morton on tenterhooks. Stein blazing high over after Dean had provided a shooting chance.
Villa Take-Lead.
The Villa took the lead in 71 minutes through Houghton. Cunliffe broke away after a long spell of attacking by Everton, and his centre went to Dix. Dix refused the shooting chance, and made a short pass for Houghton to hit a low shot to which Sagar appeared to fall too late. Four minutes later Dean levelled the score again –a really good goal taken with his left foot. The ball was lobbed down the centre, and though Gibson touched it with his head it ran towards the Villa goal. Dean raced ahead and placed a lovely shot into the top right hand corner of the net. Just after dean provided a gilt-edged chance for Higham, which was wasted. Gardiner, throwing in from a corner flag, placed direct to the goalmouth and Sagar, had to be quick to keep Dix at bay. Final Everton 2, Aston
Villa 2.

BOLTON RES V. EVERTON RES.
April 5 1934. Evening Express, Football Edition.
An exchange of attacks saw Everton take the lead after six minutes, Dunn shooting from Coulter's centre. Bolton returned to the attack, forcing King to two good saves while two efforts by Watson were just too high. Clark shot just wide for Everton and when Bolton broke clear Hurst, the centre-half, ran through to shoot hard and low, but King saved magnificently. Cameron headed wide of an open Everton goal from Powell's centre, and Watson kicked over the ball in a goalmouth scramble. The home goalkeeper escaped miraculously during a spell of heavy pressure. King, at the other end, saved a succession of headers cleverly. An opening was made for Cameron, but he shot very badly, and forward shortcomings were keeping the Wanderers in arrears. Half-time Bolton Wanderers Res -, Everton Res 1. Everton attacked when the second half began, and after six minutes Critchley cut in to score a good goal. Off-side spoils a promising movement at the other end. Cameron was clever in the Bolton attack, but could not force his path through a packed defence.
Northern Nomads v Everton “A”
Everton invaded the Nomads territory, Bentham shooting past post. A spirited attack by Roberts and Gill for Nomads endangered the visitors' goal Jackson clearing. O'Reilly made a clever run, but from his pass Webster shot wide. Watson made a good attempt to get through and cleverly tricked two opponents, but Jones saved finely. Nomads had a chance but James could not connect with a centre. Everton were now playing strongly and a smart individual effort by Benson resulted in Webster scoring with a powerful drive. The nomads replied with a clever movement on the left and Deighton was forced to punch over the bar from a centre from Gill. Everton increased their lead when Birkley outwitted Cameron to run in and score. Half-time; Northern Nomads 0 Everton “A” 2.

FOUR GOALS SHARED AT EVERTON
Sports Argus - Saturday 05 May 1934
LATE EQUALISER BY HOME SIDE
VILLA’S FINE ATATCK
EVERTON 2, ASTON VILLA 2
Aston Villa wound up their 1933-34 season with a point at Everton-four goals were shared.  Stevenson gave the home side the lead after 11 minutes’ play, and although Villa’s attack was persistent in clever approach play, it was not until three minutes before the interval that Astley obtained the qualiser.  Houghton put them ahead, but Dean broke away and put Everton on terms with a goal that seemed to be obtained from an off-side position.  Two penalties were saved –one each by the rivals goalkeepers.  There was no charge in the side from that which defeated Leeds United by three goals to nil last Monday evening.  Teams;- Aston Villa; Morton; Blair, Nibloe; Gardiner, Gibson, Kingdon; Houghton, Beresford, Astley, Dix, Cunliffe.  Everton; Sagar; Williams, Cook; Britton, Gee, Thomson; Geldard, Higham, Dean, Stevenson, Stein.  Referee- Mr. T. Thompson (Limington-on-Tyne).  A quarter of an hour before the start there were about 3,000 people on the ground.  The weather was bright, but breezy.  Before the start the crowd had swelled to 12,000.  Blair won the toss and took advantage of the sunlight.  Almost at once Everton attacked, and when Geldard sent across Stevenson headed with find judgement, but Morton gathered the ball with one hand in great style.  Villa were keen in attack, Gardiner revealed a degree of dash which delighted those in the crowd who recalled his earlier association with the Anfield-road club.  After eleven minute Stevenson gave Everton the lead with a great shot from 15 yards range following a centre from Geldard.  There were thrills at the other end, and in a hot Villa attack Astley all but got the ball into the net only for Williams to punch it out.  The referee awarded a penalty, but to the crowd’s delight Houghton drove straight at the goalkeeper.  This was hard luck for the Villa, as Astley would certainly have scored had not Williams handled.  With commendable spirit the visitors strove hard to nullify Everton’s lead.  The home defence was none too sound, and the Villa forced six corners in immediate succession.  As the game progressed Villa began to move more and more in the picture, all five forwards being at the top of their form.  In a critical and rousing attack Dix fired in a shot at a great pace, but it went just wide of the post.  But another penalty came along to disturb matters, and again it was not converted.
MORTON SAVES PENALTY. 
This time Everton were awarded it after a centre from Stein had hit Blair's hand. The referee pointed to the penalty mark, but like Houghton, Stein, who took the kick, drove straight at Morton, who saved with difficulty.  Towards the interval the pace of the game slackened, but Villa did most of the attacking, and could definitely be accounted unlucky in not being on equal term. One swerving shot of Astley's, after a fine run by Cunliffe, went very near, but Everton, by hook and crook, contrived to keep the ball out.  Three minutes before half time Villa eluded the defence, which had seemed charmed, and drew level.  Gibson started the movement which led to the goal, and headed to Beresford who slipped it to ASTLEY. The centre-forward shot first time from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball sped into the net at great speed.  A well-deserved goal.  Half-time.—Everton  1 Aston Villa 1
Over 20,000 saw the start of the second half. Villa began at the same speed, and with the same skill as they had done in the first half, and following good play by the half-backs a corner was forced on the right which Houghton placed finely.  Astley was bowled over unceremoniously in trying to put the ball through, and Williams cleared his lines.  Clever work by Beresford and Dix took Villa down the field again, and the home defence had some anxious moments. Gee was a tower of strength for Everton, and he succeeded in subduing Astley to a great extent.  A spell of mid-field play ensued with neither side showing their first half form. Since the interval there had not been much to shout about. Stein was completely under the domination of Gibson and scarcely got a glimpse of the ball.  Kingdon was hurt in an Everton raid on the left, but he was able to carry on.  In the 68th minute Villa took the lead without much of an effort.  Cunliffe careered along the left wing, passed to Dix who slipped the ball to HOUGHTON for the outside-right score with a first time shot.  Villa continued to play clever football despite the vicissitude of the score, and attack after attack was conceived and carried out in a style which was a joy to watch.  Once Villa forced a throw-in near the corner flag and Gardner screwed the ball right into the goalmouth.  Stung by the reverse Everton rallied and DEAN went down the middle and fired in a rising shot which gays Morton no chance.  In many peoples opinion he was in an off-side position when the pass was given. Everton's equaliser came eight minutes after the Villa's second goal.  Result:—Everton 2, Aston Villa 2
THE GAME AT A GALNCE
After 11 minutes;- Everton 1, Aston Villa 0 (Stevenson scored)
After 42 minutes;- Everton 1, Aston Villa 1 (Astley scored)
After 68 minutes;- Everton 1, Aston Villa 2 (Houghton scored)

THE LAST ROUND-UP AT EVERTON
Liverpool Echo - Saturday 05 May 1934
HONOURS EVEN IN CLASS DUEL WITH VILLA
By Stork
Football of high standard, not a lot of punch, two penalty kicks, and a draw, perhaps quite represented the flow of the game.  Everton; Sagar; Williams, Cook; Britton, Gee, Thomson; Geldard, Higham, Dean, Stevenson, Stein.  Aston Villa; Morton; Blair, Nibloe; Gardner, Gibson, Kingdon, Houghton, Beresford, Astley, Dix, Cunliffe.  Referee; Mr. T. Thompson, Limington-on-Tyne.
This was the last round-up of the 1933-44 season of football. The visit of the Villa was an attraction, yet it did not make the call I thought the clash would have done, for five minutes before the start there would not be more than 10,000 people present.  At ten minutes Everton had taken the lead through a goal by Stevenson, a goal, by the way, which enabled the little Irishman to chalk up his first goal for Everton.  It was a brilliant shot after Geldard had centred and Dean had failed to head, so that Blair took the ball instead, but only put it out to Stevenson, who came along with a smashing drive that had Morton beaten to pieces.  That goal brought more life in the game, and but for a handling case by Williams, equality would have been restored. This incident is worth giving in full.  A long ball from the rear bounced up in front of Sagar, but before he could make his save Astley roes up and headed the ball in Sagar's hands. 
SAGAR SAVES PENALTY
The ball was certain to have landed in the net but for William, who armed it out. Houghton was called up to take the penalty kick, to which Sagar made an astounding save, punching the fierce drive up into the air and following up to complete the clearance.  Dean shot over the bar and then the Everton goal had another escape when Thomson and Sagar got in each other's way, as the ball only just passed a foot off the upright.  Then followed four corners against Everton, but their defence mastered them all. A free kick taken by Stein was of such immense power that it almost knocked out Beresford, who staggered around the field in a dazed condition for fully a minute.  Dix hit the net support, Sagar swept away a Houghton kick, and Kingdon shot wide, these were the next three items of note.  Gee, who is putting the ball up very nicely for Dean, once enabled the latter to head out to Stein, and as the latter centred Blair undoubtedly handled.  Stein, who took the spot kick, shot straight at goalkeeper Morton, and although he given a second chance, the ball having come straight back to him. Stein did the very same thing, but on the second occasion with much less sting.  It was astonishing the number of times the Everton goal was saved by someone other than the goalkeeper.  This time it was Thomson who saved Sagar's face by dropping back and kicking clear from Astley. Dean was pushed out of the way when he looked like taking a goal, but his appeal for a penalty went unheard. 
ASHTLEY CROWNS FINE EFFORT 
The Villa wingmen were very accurate when centring the ball, and after Cunliffe had raced Britton and won a corner, Astley used his hands on Cook's shoulders in his effort to head a goal.  The Birmingham side equalised four minutes from the interval, and to do so they took the ball the full length of the field without an Everton man touching it.  It was a brilliant piece of combination and well worthy of a goal when Astley finally shot the ball beyond Sager.  Half-time.—Everton 1, Aston Villa 1. 
The football was still of good class, but goal incidents in this half were not very frequent.  Dean headed over to Stein so that the left-winger was able to make a good shot, although he struck the side netting, but it had to be acknowledged the ball was almost knee-high when he hit it.  Astley shot against Williams's chest and Dean made a back-header that went very close but not quite close enough.  A little later the Everton centre forward half-volleyed a ball towards goal and here again the margin between success and failure was very small. For the first time during the game the crowd became really excited.  It was brought about through Evertonpressure, and Dean once again "placed" Stein, who unfortunately lifted the ball over the bar.  Stevenson found Gibson a much too large proposition for him, and Williams was very was as good as any man on the field.  Cunliffe's speed has often brought him success. It did to-day, for it enabled him to whizz past the Everton opposition and then pull the ball back so that Houghton could come up hot-foot and shoot into the Everton goal. Time sixty-eight minutes.  It struck me that Sugar must have been unsighted, for he did not move across the ball until it was almost crossing his line. For some minutes the Villa got on top, yet it was Everton who marked up the next goal. Dean was the scorer. He was actually offside when the ball was last played, but Gibson, by heading ball, put Dean onside, and the Everton centre was only too thankful atreceiving opportunity, as he marched forward and shot into the Villa goal at seventy-second minute.  Another Gardner throw landed plumb in front of the Everton goal, but it was not taken up as it should have been, for there was no question about it that Gardner had made a goal possible. Geldard had a chance to offer any of his inside forwards a goal if he had been confident enough with his centre.  It only had to be of the right length to have made things difficult for the Villa defence.  As things turned out, he made it easy for them by putting the ball straight into the hands of Morton.  Final; Everton 2, Aston Villa 2. 

BOLTON RES V EVERTON RES
Liverpool Football Echo - Saturday 05 May 1934
The game was only five minutes’ old when Dunn, taking a quick centre from Coulter, scored for Everton.  Play was chiefly round the goal, but Everton were the more skilful side and the bulk of the attacks were easily broken up.  The home forwards were very unconvincing, but Everton missed many openings.  Half-time; Everton Reserves 1, Bolton Reserves 0.  Final; Bolton Reserves 1, Everton Reserves 2. 

NORTHERN NOMADS V EVERTON A
Liverpool Football Echo - Saturday 05 May 1934
Everton commenced strongly, a judicious forward pass by Griffiths giving Bentham his chance to send in a stinging drive which G.S. Jones sent over the bar.  Nomads, as a result of pretty play on the left, pressed strongly, and Jackson conceded a corner which ended in Roberts placing wide.  Everton again attacked, and a smart move by McArdle resulted in Webster scoring.  Everton were doing most of the pressing, and at half hour Bartley increased their lead.  Near the interval Jones, in the Nomads goal, saved two shots from Webster.  Half-time; Northern Nomads nil, Everton A 2.

Final Game at Goodison Park.
Everton and Aston Villa Draw.
By “Stork.”
Not often do we see two penalty kicks at Goodison park, but we saw two such kicks on Saturday, and from each the shooters missed. Everton and Aston Villa particularly in a 2-2 drawn game. It was a quiet sort of match, but those who like football for football's sake had their fill, both Everton and the Villa indulging in some intricate footwork, even though there was not a lot of punchy to follow up some good combination. The two penalty awards caused the most excitement. If Williams had not handed the ball out of the net Villa's spot kick would have been unnecessary, for nothing could have prevented the ball landing between the posts.
Sagar's Great Save.
I though Sagar was at fault, for when the ball came bouncing towards him he should have punched it clear before Astley got up to head it over his head. Houghton, who has a terrific shot, took the kick, but Sagar made amends with an amazing save. It was not a question of the ball striking him, for it was sailing safely under the bar until he shot up his hands and sent it spinning up in the air so that he was able to follow up and complete a grand save. Astley, however, had his revenge after a perfectly combined movement by the whole of the Villa right flanks the centre-forward scoring with a grand shot. Everton had taken a goal at ten minutes – a goal, which gave Stevenson his first for Everton. This was a magnificent shot after Geldard had centred and Blair had headed out to the Irishman. Houghton recovered the lead for the Birmingham side, and then came Everton's penalty. Blair handled a Stein centre, Stein was called upon to take the kick, but he drove the ball straight at goalkeeper Morton, from whom it cannoned back to Stein. Not often does a man get a second opportunity, but Stein did, and again his shot straight at the goalkeeper. However, Everton levelled the scores at 72 minutes. When the ball was last played Dean was in an offside position, but did not move. Gibson tried to head the ball clear, but only headed it on to Dean to put him onside. Dean accepted the grit to easily beating Morton. That was the conclusion of the scoring. Two men stood out in the game, Williams and Gibson. The former saved at least two certain goals through falling back on to his goal line. He was splendid throughout. Gibson could be seen everywhere. He kept a tight hold on Dean – in fact he usually had the measure of the three Everton inside forwards. Gardiner once of Liverpool F.C. has put on some weight, but he has greatly improved. His throws from touch were a feature. They were as good as corner kicks, and should have produced goals. Teams: - Everton: - Sagar goal; Williams and Cook, backs; Britton, Gee and Thomson, half-backs; Geldard, Higham, Dean (captain), Stevenson and Stein, forwards. Aston Villa: - Morton, goal; Blair and Nibloe, backs; Gardiner, Gibson and Kingdom, half-backs; Houghton, Beresford, Astley, Dix, and Cunliffe, forwards. Referee Mr. T. Thompson Lymington-to-Tyne.

Facts and figures about Everton and Liverpool, in connection with the past season's Football League matches, are brimful of interest. Do you know, for example that only two players in the Everton and Liverpool teams played in every football League match last season. They were Britton and Stein of Everton. Johnson and Blenkinsopp played in every match for Liverpool since joining the Anfield brigade. Here are the list of appearances of both clubs: -
Everton –Britton 42; Stein 42; Sagar 40; Thomson 38; Cook 35; Gee 29; White 27; Cunliffe 27; Cresswell 25, Geldard 24; Dunn 23; Johnson 19; Williams 18; Critchley 16; Higham 13; Dean 12; Stevenson 12; Archer 6; Jones 5; Coulter 3; Coggins 2; McGourty 1, J.G. Watson 1; Bocking 1.

ASTON VILLA’S BAD LUCK AT GOODISON PARK
Birmingham Daily Gazette - Monday 07 May 1934
SPECTACULAR DUEL WITH EVERTON
FOUR GOALS SHARED; TWO PENALTIES MISSED
EVERTON 2, ASTON VILLA 2
By Pertinax
THE "last round up" at Goodison Park on Saturday resulted in Everton and Aston Villa sharing four goals alter a highly spectacular and exciting game in which two penalties —one by each side—and many scoring chances were missed.  Villa were a well-knit and virile side, and with a little luck would have run out winners. After the first quarter of hour in which they got over their initial unsteadiness they outplayed the home defence. It was, therefore, something of an unfortunate blow when Everton raced away and Stevenson drove the ball home in the 11th minute.  No fewer than six corners were forced one after the other, but still the Everton backs, Williams and Cook, cleared their lines. And then Astley trapped a long pass down the middle, and drove hard into goal from just outside the penalty area. 
GOOD CHANCES MISSED 
More hot raids were launched in which both sides missed good scoring chances. The crowd began to laugh at such flagrant flinging away of chances, but worse was to follow, Williams handled the ball in the goalmouth after a header from Astley, and the referee awarded a penalty.  Houghton, who usually is so sure from the spot, drove at Sagar and the goalkeeper saved.  This was surprising enough, but at the other end Blair showed that he, too, could stop a ball with his hands, and another penalty was awarded.  This time Stein shot feebly for Morton to save.  Villa began the second halt in confident fashion, and began to dictate the play with an ease and skill that was good to watch.  When Houghton snapped up a chance in the 68th minute and flashed the ball in it merely reflected Villa's superiority. More goals might easily have followed had not the visitors' finishing been poor. Paradoxically, however, Dean fastened on to a ball which Gibson tried vainly to clear, and scored from long range five minutes after Houghton's goal. 
GIBSON’S GRIP
On the whole it was a much improved Villa team.  The halves, with Gardner spectacularly effective, were a very strong trio.  Throughout the game Gibson kept a relentless grip on Higham, Stevenson, and Dean, and he fed his own men addiduously, while Kingdon scarcely put a foot wrong or a ball astray.  The forwards were impressive, also their only fault being weakness in front of goal. Cunliffe was a dangerous raider at all times, and he and Astley gave Gee and the backs a lot of trouble.  Gee and Geldard were outstanding for Everton, with the wing halves and backs rather shaky.  It was a classic duel with two fine teams playing wholeheartedly and unsparingly, and with Villa robbed of both points by that adverse fate which has deluged them this season.  This was Kingdon's 199th game for the Aston Villa senior side. Morton has been the only ever-present in the team this season.  Everton; Sagar; Williams, Cook; Britton, Gee, Thomson; Geldard, Higham, Dean, Stevenson, Stein.  Aston Villa; Morton; Blair, Nibloe; Gardner, Gibson, Kingdon, Houghton, Beresford, Astley, Dix, Cunliffe.  Referee; Mr. T. Thompson, Limington-on-Tyne.

EVERTON-VILLA INTEREST
Liverpool Echo - Monday 07 May 1934
By Bees
Here at Goodison I found many surprising things.  Here and there a querulous fellow would think he knew it all; and here and there they took the view that if a penalty kick was taken by Stein and was saved by the goalkeeper the taker was unable to have a second fling.  There were spectators there who knew better, and they soon told their neighbor he was at variance with the rules.  My journey to town started at Birkenhead and the Goodison fans there were wondering whether Pongo would be playing. I lost this section in a wayside “house” near to James-street Station.  The tram was handy; the journey was uneventful till we reached Walton-road when there was a big hold-up while the police marked the course of a fatal accident to a child.  May Day processions, with mother’s curtains and the chimney’s blackening powder, brightened the road called Scotland; I reminded myself that thirty-two years ago I made the same journey, and paid my humble sixpence.  Here it was a shilling to pay- and cheap at the price when you think of the nice football served up by the Villa especially and by Everton in some parts of their chain of football office.
ENTANGLEMENTS
I could go nowhere without being asked to help some cause. Here the people who gather round Spud Murphy’s favourite spot complain that the wire netting around the players' and referee's entrance spoil, the view. I tried the “spec,” and found their complaint is justified. If the wire were not raised-and it need not be—then these loyalists can have an uninterrupted view of the game. I pass the word along to the officials of the Goodison club -and leave it with them. The grand stand seats do not give you the close-up of play: you do not get the clutter of feat; yon do not have the marvellous view of Gardiner throwing in from touch and making Ben Williams, the hero full back of the day, quiver to know what to do with a ball marked "dangerous." You do not realise the wan smile of wee Cook, who has thrown the ball in to Thomson, for a throw-in, yet play has gone on as if Cook intended to take on the thrower's job.  Spud Murphy is well-nigh' silent, and one wonders what his semi-official duties with the club can be—other than seeing the Everton team to away games.  Just then a ball is hit out of the ground for nix—if the lads can get away with it. That is where spud appears.  He is the retriever—he sold me one about 30 years ago!—and soon he comes back to the ground, saying –something about “paying a bob to see a game, and only seeing three-quarters of it.”  Gooch and Cooke, the respective trainers, are in the net-but, mobile police and inspectors are near at hand, but are never required; a reserve team player shows far too much interest in the news-papers about 3.30 I think there is a big race in which he is concerned. I would not let any player of mine see a newspaper till night time—then racing interests would not interfere with his football interests. But who am I to lay down a law? I bow to your rebuke, reader, but would remind you I have seen many tragic happenings that would not have arisen if the law had been in force for forty year.
THE EVER-PRESENT 
Police-constable 258 E sings as I pass through the portals, paying my humble shilling.  He is asking in his song; “Did You Ever See a Dream Walking” Well, I did.  For many, many years I have missed the man who sells the ginger-breads. I inquired for him.  Yes, he is sure to be there.  Ah, here he comes, gray-haired nowadays; a feature of Walton games; he tells us these ginger-breads are “Dixie’s choice” I missed the sellers of tips and watches, and was glad.  Upstairs I noticed the Bryant and May’s combine by the side of the Press-box, at a further puncture the directorial department. I notice the whiteness of the secretarial hat; we see some physical jerks in this section of the ground.  There is no foul language around me; the crowd is exemplary in its behavior, but I see the V.P of a section of the official quarters pressing a rug to a neighbor. It must be cold up there, it’s all quiet and clean on the lower stages of the ground.  By me is a man who accuses his neighbours of “coming here to see one side only.”  The partisan nobbled.  Another suggests that when the ball is over the line there should be a free kick to the “other side”; that would stop the kicking out that goes on in the late portions of play say he.  Well, it’s an idea.  Down at the bottom end the “proey” chiefs are busy with the number board, the mechanical music sounds good, and someday we may see these people put into a fine goal-end stand- it’s an idea.  Actually, Everton need more accommodation, and the back of the Aintree end goal is the spot at which the next move will be made by the progressive Everton people.  It was quite an experience spending my time by the subway, and I congratulate the club upon the excellent sportsmanship and judgement of the spectators, who congregate in that area.  Football’s all right, while we have followers of that character and discernment.  The referee was all right, too; perhaps that may have had a lot to do with the day’s pleasure.  Who knows?

BLACKPOOL WIN CUP-TIE
Lancashire Evening Post - Tuesday 08 May 1934
Football had its dying kick at Bloomfield-road last night, when Blackpool, by defeating Everton—the holders—2—0, retrieved the Victoria Hospital Cup. It is three years since the seaside club last held the trophy.  Two first half goals by Brallisford, who was Blackpool’s most progressive forward, were sufficient to win the game for the home side.  Everton, who lacked punch in attack, where Dean was strangely ineffective, seldom looked like scoring.  Wallace, Whitham and Shipman formed an uncompromising defence for Blackpool, and at half-back Phil Watson completely subdued Dean, against whom he made his debut in English football three seasons ago. Richards, a young left half whom Blackpool secured recently from South Wales, revealed constructive skill, keeping Smailes well plied with passes.  Everton, with one exception, fielded their First Division side, and were best served by Williams, Britton and Higham. The former Chorley player revealed several nice touches in a forward line which lacked penetrative power. 

EVERTON'S TOURING TEAM 
Liverpool Echo - Tuesday 08 May 1934
ENTERTAINED BY THE LORD MAYOR 
The Everton Football Club, which is to tour the Canary Island, where they are due to play three games, were entertained to luncheon at the Liverpool Town Hall, to-day, be the Lord Mayor, who has had a big hand in arranging the tour.  All the fourteen players who are making the trip were prevent. They are: Sagar, Williams, Cook, Cresswell, Britton, Gee, Thomson, Geldard, Higham, Cunliffe, Dean, Stevenson,  Stein, and Coulter.  They leave Liverpool on Thursday morning, and sail on the Dunbar Castle on Thursday afternoon.  "Everton will be the first Football League team to visit the Canary Island" said the Lord Mayor.  “You are not going to play on grass.  The grounds are hard and the Spaniards play fast, enthusiastic football.  "When I wrote to the Sporting Club of Tenerife I said 'Whatever you do, try and win. Now I am going to say to you boys, 'Don't let that happen. If I learn that you have been beaten I shall have a terrible time with those friends of mine on the other side."  Alderman Luke Hogan, who attended to wish the tourists good luck from the City Council, in the unavoidable absence of Sir Thomas White, said:  "The professional footballer is like a politician, with the exception that when a footballer leaves one club for another he is a hero, but when a politician leaves one team for another he is regarded as of the lowest type.  The name of the Everton club had become a household word in the country.  Everton have certainly played the game, and have carved for themselves a niche which no other club can ever occupy."  Mr. W. C. Cuff, chairman of Everton F.C., replying, said:—" It has always been the desire and object of Everton to present football in its most attractive, stylish, and cultivated form."

Bee’s Notes
Our schoolmasters have been provided with an unlooked for opportunity of inviting the ten thousand enthusiasts who, despite the rain, attended the Lancashire Schools re -played semifinal, in the Lancashire Schools' Championship on Tuesday, at Anfield to be present at the final game.  By the great kindness of the Everton F.C. directors. Goodison Park is to be the venue, and, at 7 p.m., the young Livers will take the field against the Bolton, boys, who have had an all-conquering season, mainly through the brilliance of their centre forward, Lawton.  Tuesday's snatch was a thrilling game, and the issue hung in the balance until ten minutes from the end.  The result, 2-1 for Liverpool, was an admirable reflex of the play. But the treacherous surface and greasy ball prevented the Liverpool boys from displaying their real artistry. Granted fine weather conditions on Monday, the match at Goodison will be worthy of fifty thousand attendance. If you have doubts on this, ask any of the Tuesday ten thousand.

EVERTON WIN AT TENERIFFE
May 21, 1934. Evening Express.
Sporting Club Beaten 2-1
Stein and Cunliffe Score.
By the Pilot.
Everton won the first match of their tour in Teneriffe when they defeated the local Sporting Club by 2-1 yesterday. The standard of Everton's play did not quite come up to the expectations of the spectators, but with Tenerife playing a determined game, they were fortunate to get away with a victory. The home team managed to control the ball better on the hard ground, which was devoid of grass, and they opened the scoring after ten minutes. They kept this lead well on in the second half. The weather was dull and there were only about 4,500 spectators present when play began. Teneriffe started off at a hot pace and persistent pressure was soon rewarded. The left winger made ground and passed across to the centre-forward whose shot was parried by Sagar, the Everton goalkeeper. The Teneriffe inside-left, however, followed up quickly and scored from the rebound. Everton made great efforts to get on equal terms before half-time, and both Stein and Dean, who were always conspicuous, had great shots well saved by the home goalkeeper.
The Equaliser.
Everton persisted in their efforts when play was resumed in the second half, and after the Teneriffe goal had undergone a number of narrow escapes Stein put the Englishmen on level terms. The movement was started by Gee, who transferred to Stein. The latter made a clever run through on his own and finished up with a splendid shot. Dean made a great effort shortly afterwards when he gathered a pass from the right wing, but he had the bad luck to strike the crossbar. Then the home goal had another miraculous escape when a great shot by Higham was tipped over the bar with difficulty. Keeping up the pressure Everton eventually took the lead through Cunliffe, who snapped up a pass at the half-way line and carried the ball into the goal area, where he made no mistake with a ground shot. Just previously the home centre-forward had got the ball into the net, but the point was disallowed for offside. The same fate befell the Everton team shortly afterwards, Dean having a goal disallowed. The outstanding players in the Everton side were Stein and Geldard, the wingers, who were a constant source of danger to the home defence. The Everton players had a pleasant journey to Las Palmas on the Dunbar Castle. A member of the party has sent me a detailed account of how the Blues fared on their 1,750 miles seas voyage. The Scotsmen in our party were honoured as soon as they steeped abroad,” he writes, “for when we walked up the gangway the ship's orchestra struck up' Annie Laurie.' It must have made Jimmy Stein and Jock Thomson feel at home. “We were given a right welcome by the ship's company, and it was not long before we had quite settled down to the trip. “One of our chief concerns was what the weather would be like, but when we awoke next morning we found ourselves abreast of the Channel Islands and the sea as calm as a millpond. “In out training we have often done Swedish drill and other drills under the eye of Trainer Harry Cooke, but the fire and lifeboat drill they put us through was something out of the ordinary. Can you imagine footballers struggling to get in and out of lifebelts?
Deck Tennis.
“The boys provided a surprise for some of the 2seasoned' travellers on board. Many were invited to have a game of deck tennis and thought they were on a 2good thing.' “They were not. They found the Everton players could beat them easily. They had no idea that Everton had been playing deck tennis for the seasons at Goodison Park. Harry Cook introduced it some time ago and the players have become expert. “Eventually we steamed into Les Palmas where we took the ferry to this lovely island. “Everyone is fit.” Everton's other games will be played this week.

EVERTON WIN FIRST CAME OF THEIR TENERIFFE TOUR
Liverpool Echo - Monday 21 May 1934
Bee’s Notes
The Lord Mayor of Liverpool (Councillor G. A. Strong) will be able to bold his head high to-day, for Everton won their first match of their Tenerife tour. True, it was only a narrow victory of a goal, but it saves the Lord Mayor's face, for a defeat would have brought "tons of bricks" on his head.  At the luncheon Councillor Strong told Everton players that he had told his friends in Tenerife that they must beat Everton. I now tell you that you must not allow them to do so, otherwise he would be chaffed to death.  Everton won 2-1, beating the Tenerife Sporting Club. At the time of writing no further details of the game are to hand, but sufficient that Everton won.

Second Game with Teneriffe Sporting Club
Dean Scorers for the Tourists
Teneriffe, today.
Everton F.C's second game with the Teneriffle Sporting Club, last night, was drawn, each side scoring once. Play was of a high standard throughout, but Teneriffe seemed to have slightly the better of matters in the second half. Everton started off in fine style, and their fine speedy and combined movements gave the home defence a busy time. It was not surprising when the tourists opened the scoring through Dean, who turned Stevenson's pass to account with a fine header. Teneriffe tried hard to get on equal terms, but there was no further scoring before half-time. Teneriffe's equalising goal came midway through the second half, when a doubtful penalty award was converted –Reuters.
New Golfing Experience
The Everton players are having quite a new experience at Santa Cruz. For the first time they are being called upon to play golf on links-barren of grass. It is the best training we can get here,” writes a member of the party to The Pilot “but I am afraid our game is not quite up to the English standard. “This is proving a most enjoyable trip, for everything is so strange here. You would not imagine the people knew anything about football, but they certainly can play well. “The team we are opposing beat the best team in Spain –Madrid –so you can appreciate that we are not exactly having a holiday when it comes to football. “Everyone keeps fit and happy, and this is proving one of the most enjoyable tours we had had.”

Teneriffe's Welcome .
A member of the Everton party writing to The Pilot, says the Sporting Club show suprising skill for a team belonging to such a small town. Referring to the first match, the writer adds: “The Everton team dressed in their hotel and were driven in taxis to the ground, which has no grass, and is as hard as iron. On arrival at the ground Dixie Dean was presented with a bouquet of flowers to carry while leading his team on the field. Then the players, of each side were introduced to the club's chairmen –the Everton team to the president of the Teneriffle club, and the Teneriffe players to our chairman, Mr. W. C. Cuff. “Teneriffe, who were well served by the goalkeeper (Fernandey) left back (Ruperts), Right half (Garcia), and inside left (Seman) showed more ability than expected and over here are a hard team to beat. “For Everton the whole team worked hard to overcome conditions that might easily have cost them the game. Substitutes are allowed in case of injury, but in this match they were not wanted. Everton's team was: Sagar; Williams, Cook; Britton, Gee Thomson; Geldard, Higham, Dean, Cunliffe, Stein.

LETTER FROM CLIFF BRITTON
May 29, Liverpool echo,
By “Bee.”
Cliff Britton acting as my correspondent for the Everton F.C tour of Teneriffe, sent this on may 21: - we played the first match of our tour yesterday, winning by two goals to one. Before the match started we had quite a few people visit us. In the morning we has a visit from the people of Las Palmas, whom we had met on our way out; they had come over on the midnight boat and had rather a rough crossing. They told us about a hundred had made the journey from Las Palmas to see the match. When it was time to change for the game we did so in the hotel (more convenient). Arriving at the ground we were greeted by a heartily round of applause from the spectators who had already taken up their place. This was very much appreciated by all the members of the team, another friendly gesture of the Spanish people was awaiting us at the dressing-room, where on arriving our captain, Billy Dean, was presented with a bouquet of flowers tied together with the club's colours. Before the game started both teams lined up the reason for this being that our team were presented to the president of the Teneriffe football association and the Tenerife team was presented to Mr. Cuff, our chairman. The referee was named Mr. Willis, his father being english and his mother a Spaniard: so both sides had no complaints to make about him. - Before the match, as it is a referee lot, we both did after Dixie won the toss, but there was not much advantage in it, as it was rather a dull evening. It was ideal for us. He chose to ‘'kick into the sun'' so that if it did happen to come out we should have it in our backs in the second half, when it would be at its most troublesome point. The kick off (at 4-30) and made for our goal rightway by means of the short-passing game, at which they showed themselves possessing great ability. Up to now we had been kept mostly on the run as these Tenriffe players quickly got the bouncing ball under control, and always seemed to be able to find their man when parting with the ball. After ten minutes Tenerife took the lead, which they fully deserved on the run of the play so far, the goal was not a brilliant one, as it was rather a scrambled affair; from a mix-up in our goal it came out to the inside-left-seamen-who did not meet it as well as he might have done, but it happened to go in the right spot, giving sager no chance. At this period we were a little unlucky not to have equalised. There was no further score in this half. The second half was only six minutes old when Jimmy Stein ran through to score a brilliant goal. After this we had things more our own way. All the string had gone out of the Teneriffe side: they seemed to be tried. We took the lead after another eight minutes had ticked by Cunlifffe being the scorer. Just after this Tenerife got the ball in our net, but the referee disallowed for off-side, much to the disappointment of the spectators, with about ten minutes to go Dixie scored a goal, but the Tenerife took a goal kick and no one on our side questioned the decision-believe it or not-that being the only thing of note before the final whistle went, with the score being 2-1 in our favour. While we were leaving the ground Dixie asked the referee why he disallowed his goal whereupon the referee inquired which goal? So Dixie recalled the incident, and the referee admitted he through the ball had gone outside. He did all he could do then, apologized to Dixie for his mistake so the score was really 3-1. The attendance for the match was 6,800.

Football Canary in the 30's was at the forefront both in the value of its footballers and the potential of the teams. The difficulties of remoteness prevented our clubs participate in the National League championship, but this was compensated with the visit carried out every year to the islands major Spanish teams and some powerful foreign teams. The Islanders teams of both capital desentoaban in these confrontations of the highest level this year and in 1934 was presented in the archipelago, nothing more and nothing less which had been champion England: Everton, Liverpool. The Passion with which they lived football in the islands understandable partly because more than thirty footballers island highlighted in national competitions and the quarry was still producing new values that gave potential local teams. Entrepreneur's football invest their money in bringing big teams to cope with pioneers as Victoria, Marine or Tenerife. Thus, and the support of the British colony established on the islands were made demarcates to the Champions League and Cup in England, the birthplace of soccer. It was informed that the fans through the house of Manuel Cruz has turned to the advance Liverpool agreed to travel to Tenerife, Everton famous English team, champion League and the English League cup in 1933. “That was the first time they received a visit Tenerife a professional team English, the most powerful of Britain with 7 international in their ranks and including the famous striker Dixie Dean.

Fame also that the islands had for those first British tourists and the important business relationship with England facilitated the presence of British athletes. Moreover, the Barcelona through cable sent to Vitcoria offered to play three games in the Las Palmas days 6, 10, and May 13, economic arrangements and secure Everton's visit to Tenerife prevented the filing of the azulgranas in the canaries. At the same time, the large British colony, which had tried to make the England list team played in the Las Palmas days May 31 and June 3 to no avail requested fertilizers for the three parties grancanarios also thousands of fans chartered a steamer

In those years the relations with the British were well established and the event was a soccer encounter very important part of the British colony and society Canarian thereafter. They were years of uncertainty in Spain where the Republic ended not instituted and social conflicts were enough. The Canary –British relations an import sector of the agricultural and commercial society of both islands were empowered with these encounters. The day of the meeting santacrucerp Stadium was in ferment. Supporters came from many parts of the archipelago. All British colony of both capitals.
