the favourites were down

happened at some undefinable
moment”
(THE TIMES 1966)

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Harrison’s SOMETHING
is MOZART’S symphony

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 But Everton were 2-0 down
and THE TIMES in 1966
in the heart of the report said
that there was
TEMPLE soaring like a bird
on the left to head the ball
square across the goalmouth
where TREBILOCK crashed
his shot home:2-1
