On September 07 1889 - Charlie Parry becomes the first Everton player to be sent off – for persistent fouling – in the second half of our 3-2 home League win against Blackburn.

Born Christmas Day 1869 on Arthur Street, Oswestry, England - not Llansilin, Wales, as many older sources list. The error comes from his Welsh international eligibility and Oswestry's position on the border.

Early career: Spotted playing junior football by William Nunnerley [future FAW secretary and international referee], who signed him for Chester St Oswalds.

Everton 1889-1895 - 94 League & Cup apps, 5 goals:
• Signed spring 1889 after saying he was "not class enough". Friendly debut vs Witton, 8 April 1889 - scored.
• League debut opening day of 1889-90 vs Blackburn Rovers - scored in 3-2 win but sent off in 81st minute for "persistently fouling Forrest". First Everton player sent off in the League. Ever-present as Everton finished runners-up.
• Versatile full-back / half-back: good position, strong tackle, quick, accurate kicker, free-kick specialist to 60 yards, reputation for "bashing goalkeepers". Described as "exceedingly popular".
• 1890-91: £2 a week, 13 appearances, recalled at centre-half for 7-0 win vs Derby County on 4 Oct. Part of Everton's first ever League Championship side.
• March 1891 married - club advanced him £15 from next season's wages. 1891-92 wage £2 summer / £2.10.0 winter. Lost place, asked to leave Oct 1891 - released on repayment of £34 summer wages plus loans. Briefly joined Ardwick AFC [11 games, 1 goal, Nov 1891-Jan 1892].
• Re-engaged Dec 1892 at £2/week after Everton left Anfield for Goodison Park. Returned Jan 1893 at Sunderland. Missed 1893 FA Cup Final squad.
• Discipline: suspended 2 weeks no pay Sept 1893 for drunkenness, and again March 1894 for "not attending training etc." - bonuses revoked.
• 1893-94 only played from 23 Dec after Bob Howarth's "lameness" - in side for 8-1 vs Sheffield Wednesday and 7-1 vs West Brom where Jack Southworth scored 4 then 6.
• 1894-95 "made the left back his own" alongside James Adams - missed only 3 games as Everton finished runners-up to Sunderland.
• 1895-96: 2 final appearances. Last game 30 Sept 1895, 3-4 at Aston Villa - conceded penalty for deliberate handball, Jack Reynolds hit post.

Happy 73rd Birthday to a proper Blue today — Ronny Goodlass!

Born on this day, 6th September 1953 — Ronny Goodlass

The Liverpool lad who became known as the one-handed winger after an accident with a power tool.

Joined the Blues as an apprentice in July 1971, made his League debut aged 22 on Tuesday 23rd December 1975 in a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United, and went on to wear Royal Blue 51 times between 1971-1977 — 31 League starts (+3 as sub), 2 goals.

Everton career 1975–1977: 33 League apps, 2 goals, scorer of that famous halfway-line goal at West Ham and a key man in our 1977 League Cup Final run and FA Cup semi-final against the RS.

From winger to the voice we all know on BBC Radio Merseyside — “It’s one of them!”

Karma Is A Bitch!

Balogun blow after Everton deadline day U-turn

Folarin Balogun's dramatic deadline day call to snub Everton may have already backfired.

The AS Monaco striker was a late target for the Toffees, with Everton submitting a deal sheet in an attempt to bring him to Hill Dickinson Stadium before the window closed. The move ultimately collapsed after Balogun decided not to proceed.

Just days later, the US international has been hit with a double setback in France.

First, Balogun has been left out of Monaco's squad for their Europa Conference League campaign. He was also omitted from the matchday squad for their game against PSG this evening, leaving his short-term future at the Stade Louis II in serious doubt.

The Liverpool ECHO understands that during his medical on Merseyside, concerns were flagged by Everton's medical team as Balogun completed his tests.

Despite that, Everton were still prepared to push the deal through. It was Balogun himself who opted to walk away and stay in the Principality.

That decision has left David Moyes light up front, with Thierno Barry now the only senior recognised striker in the squad.

Monaco, meanwhile, had been looking to move Balogun on as part of efforts to ease a financial issue. His decision to turn down the move to Everton is now thought to be a factor behind his absence from the European squad, with his status at the club suddenly unclear just days after he chose to stay.

Arthur "Archie" Styles (born 3 September 1949 in Liverpool) is an English former professional footballer who played as a left-back.

A Liverpool native, Styles joined his hometown club Everton straight from school in 1965 and went on to represent England at schoolboy and youth level. Despite high expectations, he was unable to secure a regular first-team place at Goodison Park, making just 23 league appearances in seven years.

In February 1974 he left Everton for Birmingham City as part of a joint deal with Howard Kendall in exchange for Bob Latchford — a move that valued Latchford at £350,000, a British record transfer fee at the time.

At Birmingham, Styles faced stiff competition for the left-back spot, notably from Garry Pendrey, and again struggled to establish himself as first choice. He moved on in 1978 to Peterborough United for a season, then spent a final season as a player at Portsmouth before joining the club's coaching staff.
