Thanks, Tony, for another interesting insight into the history of Everton.

That's some heritage for Billy Wilson, to be the last surviving Everton player from the first season of the Football League.

You had me picking my brain there Tony with Blandford Street, then all became clear with Kempston Street, it’s amazing to think that Billy born in 1868 around Islington was still walking around the same area in 1957, Anson Street is just off London Road, a small street, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we walked past each other those days or even queuing up to get in the Kings Picture House ( cinema). If only I’d known, could have got his autograph, what a present that would have been for Dr. David France, I would have gladly given it to him.

Impressive research, Tony, Billy lived until he was 88 or 89. That's some going having spent his whole life in a poor rundown area of Liverpool.
