Everton legend reveals secrets of his 30-goal season and why Andy Gray will forever be in his debt as former striker recalls his Goodison Park days

As the countdown continues towards Goodison Park's farewell game this Sunday, when Everton take on Southampton, Mail Sport talks to some of the club's former stars for their recollections of the Grand old Lady. Here, one of the club's most iconic goalscorers Bob Latchford recalls his days as Everton's No. 9.

'I suppose Andy Gray should say thank you,' laughs Bob Latchford. 'It could have been oh so different, I could have been part of that glorious '80s side, but I'd had my time there.'

Latchford is sharing the little-known story of how Howard Kendall asked him to return to Goodison Park to lift his struggling team.
