Remember that thundering out at Anfield in the 81 league Cup semi final, while you could a pin drop on the Kop. A 1 1 draw but we should have ripped them up for arse paper that night. Like you can't believe where the years have gone. Don't have much fondness for Bond but the two Everton FA cup games and the Ipswich semi were the highlights of that era and many years to come.

State of that pitch , looked like it had been ploughed down the middle by the end which is some excuse for the number of chances we fluffed before Morley's winner.
He put his son in the side. I don't have particularly fond memories of Bond, or his son.
Went to Anfield that night came home with a few windows short on coach cheated out of Reeves goal in first leg then they scored from a bent free kick, absolutely played em off the field 2nd leg nothing changes with the entitled Klan. Still our time has well and truly arrived:-)
Me neither Reid got bounced out to accommodate his useless lad we fell that far if i remember he won player of the year unbelievable.
Was that the game where he was commenting for tv and came over to us waving expecting heroes welcome and got fuckin dogs abuse.
Listened to it on the radio.
Much more to it. Bond walked away from the meeting with Swales, Clough & Forest’s chairman because of certain demands made byClough. Bond told Swales not to do business with Forest. Swales did a deal that Clough was happy with and told Bond that Francis would be first of several major signings Bond wanted. Bond believed him and told Francis that. Swales lied to both of them.
He let his mask slip that day.
