I taught at St Nicholas High School for a couple of years in the early 1980's. I did not realise that I was living and working in the " stamping ground" of a great Evertonian. Very sad to read that our oldest former player has passed away - one that but for the war would have played many more times for the club. We tend these days to forget the sacrifices that Albert's generation had to make to preserve the liberties that we enjoy and sadly take for granted.

I had heard of Albert but I started watching the blues in 1951/2 so did not see him play but any Everton old boy is due all of our love and respect. Deepest condolences to Margie, Gary, God bless.

Albert was a great person who loved his time at Everton. He would have played many more times but he went to war for his country.
He had a great voice and loved his family and being in his garden.
He was and always will be a true BLUE.
He will be greatly missed

Dear Dad
You were taken away from us so suddenly. It broke my heart to find you gone. The pain of losing someone like you is unbearable. I wished I could have been there for you and held your hand to help you on your way. I will miss you forever. Keep safe. Sleep well.
Your ever loving daughter Margie xxxxxxx
