I saw Mick Hill several times in the 70s without noticing, I just thought Dave Swindlehurst was having a bad game, but they had the 70s/80s 'revisited' football on the other Saturday morning - northern show with Elton Welsby, Everton v Birmingham, whose striker was one Tony Evans - long haired, moustachioed and utterly transparent, a non-scoring striker who slid down to our level in the Mullery/early Coppell era - I had completely forgotten about him, Terry Mahoney, Kevin Taylor somehow remain in the long term memory, but Tony Evans would have been totally forgotten had I not once again chanced upon his mediocrity the other Saturday morning. If you have similar examples of complete blandness I would be interested in your observations.

Wasn't Mick Hill the 7 ft tall CF that was really useless (and thats being kind) . I heard that Malcom Alison sold him to LA Lakers , well it had something to do with a lake anyway .

Nice try, except he was transferred from Palace to Cape Town. When he transferred from Ipswich to Palace, a helicopter was involved in some way in order to beat a deadline. I can't remember the details, but I've got a newspaper cutting about it in a Palace scrap book in my loft. I must dig it out. It was something to do with securing the deal in time for him to play in the upcoming Palace game. I've a feeling we had a sudden injury crisis, and of course in those days you could rectify such a problem with a nifty signing.

Ian St John played for them as well.
