I sometimes wonder what would have happened to Everton if Hans Segars hadn’t let three goals in to keep them up.
You see some clubs like City Norwich Southampton going down (and down) and coming back up in quick time, others like Leeds Leicester SheffUtd Wolves over a longer period, and others like SheffWed and Forest not coming back.
Sunderland are down (and down) now, Preston were a big club once, Bolton were once City’s major rival (1904+1926 FA Cup finals, many other big games between the two clubs, and the two biggest clubs in our conurbation when United were nothing)… but over time some clubs never recapture that size they were in a previous moment in time.
what would have happened to Everton without Segars?
