'The
heroes parade Gordon West, Derek Temple, Mike
Trebilcock, Colin Harvey, Alex Young and manager
Harry Catterick'
Mike
is the two goal hero of the 1966 FA Cup final, when he
stood in for the regular Everton striker, Fred Pickering.
Everton won the match 3-2 against Sheffield Wednesday.
Mike
had played in the semi-final, but Fred - Everton's
leading goalscorer - had returned for three matches.
Everton manager Harry Catterick had a big decision to
make as he did not believe Fred was fit yet, and
substitutions were not allowed in the FA Cup in '66. He
opted for Mike, who at this time, had played just 8
matches and scored 2 goals for Everton.
But
Mike did the business, and the rest, as they say, is
history.
A
couple of months later in the World Cup Final at Wembly,
Alf Ramsey had to choose between injured experienced
star, Jimmy Greaves, and fully fit newcomer, Geoff Hurst
! ... Who says history never repeats !
'The
high life ... Mike Trebilcock leaps for joy after
scoring his second goal of the 1966 FA Cup Final past
despairing Shefffield Wednesday goalkeeper, Ron
Springett'
'Taste
of success ... scorers Mike Trebilcock and Derek Temple
drink from the FA Cup in the Wembly dressing room'
