Everton mourn Harris....
From OS. One of Everton’s 1966 FA Cup heroes, Brian Harris, has passed away aged 72. Harris signed for Everton in 1954 from Port Sunlight for a fee of £10  and the versatile player proved his worth.
He won the League Championship with Everton in 1963 and was part of their 1966 FA Cup-winning side. Five months later Harris was signed by Cardiff for £10,000, playing for them until 1971 before later returning to Ninian Park as assistant manager. Harris, a hugely popular versatile player, made 360 appearances for Everton, scoring 29 goals. He died peacefully on Sunday in Chepstow after a short illness. At the specific request of his family, Brian’s funeral service will take place at the St Luke’s church adjacent to Goodison Park on a date yet to be decided. Born in Bebington, Brian joined The Toffees from Port Sunlight in 1954. He operated effectively in a variety of positions for Everton and played 27 times during the 1962-63 League Championship campaign. Five months after playing his part in the never-to-be-forgotten Wembley success over Sheffield Wednesday, Brian left Goodison to join Cardiff City. RIP |

The thing I remember most about him , was putting on the policeman's hat at Wembley in '66 . The copper's helmet had come off as he rugby tackled Eddie Kavanagh , and it was Brian who picked it up and put it on whilst the police dragged Eddie off the pitch ..........happy days . |
