 Welcome to Toffy TV, this is a new feature, we're talking about football shit and you've got the legend, the legend! That is Derrick Montfield, league champion, winner with Everton, twice in three, imagine that, imagine Everton winning three games on the run, bat hard at the moment but to win two leagues in three seasons, wow! But Derrick, want to talk about this shit, iconic. It's a bit bigger than I used to when I was a fan. It looks like two, we all sound together. It does doesn't it? To be fair, but there's obviously the... The one that was and wasn't when it was won and was won, yeah. The first time he wore this was 1984, it would have been September 1984, I should imagine, or late August. When we won the FA Cup and stuff, we'll list the following season. Although we almost wore it that year didn't we, when we won the FA Cup. We did, yeah. What was the story behind it, why he didn't wear it? We were down at Birmingham early box early January in 1984 and we were all ready to go, kitted out, silver, silver, silver. It actually looked quite smart on as well to be honest. Yeah. And without 15 minutes to go the referee comes and goes, she can't wear that shit. Why referee says Howard Kendall? It's going to clash underfoot like with their blue kit and some smart arse of that goes. But is it skins of that then, right? And he went, no it's not. And he walked in with a kit man from Birmingham and he produced, Birmingham's Awake It, and I think it's the classic iconic Evan Awake It of yellow, blue, yellow. Won't Birmingham Awake It that night 120 and we're on that amazing run to the FA Cup final, but that's when we should have worn it, but we never did. So the first time he wore it? Again, a frag, a night time on the television, on the footlights, but this time we allowed to wear it away at Chelsea. I think we'd lost the first two games of the 83-84 season. 84-85? 84-85, so yeah. 4-1 to Tottenham at home and then 2-1 away at Birmingham, I think he was. West Brom. And then we go down to Chelsea on a Friday night and we wear the silver, silver, silver. For the only time I remember wearing the full kit was that night. And we won 1-0. And I said, and that was the start of another amazing run. So this silver kit has a few amazing runs. I can't see what you think about it. But only if I remember wearing the whole kit, I said once, and that was the Chelsea away, and the silver shorts and silver socks, and everyone still to this day loves this kit. I don't know what it is, there's something about it, but I wore it once, we won 1-0, and I ended up winning the league. No name, no name, I never knew my own name, he said when I played. Yeah, that was it. Texas number, I don't know about. It was, I mean, that was a massive win that night, wasn't it? It was, yeah. First ever live game? I think it was on the first live televised games. One of them. I think, yeah, but we won the FA Cup in 84, and we all come back three seasons all ready to go. The fans are all, yeah, it's our season, we're going to go. And then we go and get stuff for 1-0, have to go 1-0 up as well against Spares. In C-Pants, you know. Then we lose down at West Bram, and you're all going, oh, here we go again. And then a 1-0 with you there. And again, a run start, a run develops, and that run ends up taking us to a European final under the FA Cup, and more importantly to the league title at the end of the season. This silver kit means a lot to a lot of us, really, but we never wore it, really. It's weird, isn't it? I was in the loft of the week with someone looking around, and I actually found an original shirt in the loft, because we used to use the old shirts for training the following season. So we actually got a number stenciled in here for one of the players at it. I don't know where it came from and how I got it. I know how I got it, but I didn't even know I had it until about six weeks ago. That's it in the loft. A nice, small, tight one that makes me go a bit thin. Well, where's your one? Your training one. That might have been my training one, I don't know. I suppose it wasn't like that, was it? You were allocating a squad number. We had a number. It wasn't a squad number. We had a number for our training kit. I think mine was 33 when I was having a car memory now. And you had number 33 on your shirt. We didn't have the 10, 12 different sets of training kit. We may have had two t-shirts, two pair of shirts, a couple of sets of grotty underwearing, a couple of tops, but that was it. But that one was used a couple of times the following year for training. So a lot of them would have been used, if not used for matches, would have been used more in training scenarios. It's amazing that you look at the size of that one compared to what we used to wear when we played. They were a lot thinner, a lot tighter. And as you've seen, nice and fleece-like, they keep us warm in the summer. That's just what you need to stay warm, isn't it? We should have wore... We probably would have wore this at UCD, but we ended up wearing... I remember a home to UCD with a yellow one. Yeah, in those days it was the home teams to change shirts. The away team could wear their natural shirt and the home team had to change. And it was yellow... Blue. Yellow, black, yellow. It was an odd looking kit that year. I've seen it before. We've had the yellow shirt with the blue shirt, but we've worn black shirts and yellow socks. That is an iconic shirt for us, but, as I said, it just wasn't worn because the twice we went to use it, or once we had used it, it's going to clash with the following time we did use it, but I do prefer the yellow-blue-yellow way kit. I do like the yellow-blue-yellow. There's a picture of Laby on the wall behind you up there, and there's pictures of Bollyw in it. I think the yellow-blue-yellow looks really good. It's just the way I like it. So, really, what you're saying is we should bring this special edition kit out for the Carter for Waging. Because that might send us on some kind of women. And I've got 11 players who love to wear it as well. Take it back to the 80s. We'll all wear that shirt with pride again. Take it back to the 80s, and wear this silver kit. The kit that should have been worn more than it actually was. What a boss kit. What was that? Who were they, do you know? Fafnith, a meat Danish meat company. Danish meat company, yeah. You supply all the meat for Marks and Spencers. Did they? As players, did you never get any? No. No? Did they ever want any? Yeah, it wasn't bad to me. We've got it. I presume so. Marks and Spencers sold it. Now, we never got anything off of them. We got paid every time we wore the shirt. There was, in the contract, a shirt sponsor's bonus. A pivots fee. So, every time we wore the shirt, we got paid for wearing the shirt. Go on, Marks. I'll get the costume and find out. I'll probably say about 20 quid or 30 quid. I can't remember, to be honest. We got the pivots fee, the shirt sponsorships. You win bonuses, you clean sheets, you crowd. All that came into play in those days. It wasn't a basic wage of X amount. It was a basic wage plus topples with the bonuses. All the secrets of football. Before we go, I've got another icon. This is actually Derek's shirt that he's worn. That was worn in Australia at the end of season 1987, after he won the league. That's the size of that. Compared from that, which is better. Compared to the size of that. I'll have the grey one now. I'll go fit the grey one now. The blue one's a bit tight on me. We went to Australia at the end of the 1987 season, after we won the league, Australia and New Zealand. That was one of the shirts. I actually got it when I played it to give it to a friend of mine who was living there. I told him to meet him, he never turned up. He comes back, I've still got the shirt. I was going to give him 30 years ago. That's how tight they were. I've actually got two of them. I've got another one at home with number 12 on. That was when we played Tottenham last game of the season in 1987. When I came off the bench to score the winning goal, but to get the last game to clinch me medal for that year. I was one game short. I put my other bench and came on. I scored the winner. So number 12 shirt of that one is actually at home with all my other bits and pieces. That's the last ever goal for Everton. We won the league that day. We'd already clinched it, but that was my last ever goal for Everton with the blue NEC diamond shirt on. Did you like that? That was a kit. I just like wearing the badge. I could have been pink. The badge means everything. It's not about what colour it is. It's what's inside it and what's on your breast there, which was meant to be more of anything else just to put the blue shirt on. Once was enough for me, but to do what I did was a complete bonus, but that's a special crest. It's an old-fashioned crest. You look at it now. But just to have the blue shirt on was enough for me. I suppose this is such an iconic shape because the last kit we won, the last time we won the league, this was the kit from it. That was a mad season for you, wasn't it? Because obviously you'd been in the team and then be signed by Watson in that summer and you'd been in and out of the side, you've said before. It's always hard. When you've been playing football regularly and suddenly you're not playing regular football, it's quite hard to keep yourself going at times, but what we did have in those days was the old-fashioned central league. If you weren't playing in the first team, you at least had a good competitive game against like-for-like players who were trying to get back in the first team or coming back from injuries. I'm not a big fan of this academy system. I was playing against people who had been injured or trying to get back in the side. We had some real tough battles in the Derby and other games at United and cities because we were playing experienced footballers. That was a difficult season, but in the end I played enough games. How I'd realised I was one short, put me on the bench. It was a 0-0 game on Monday night before. Tom and I got beat in the cup final by Cardiff on the Saturday. He gives me a knock saying he's going on, son. I do me warm-up, pulls me over and says I'm taking in Shofy, going up front and getting us a goal. As soon as he came off, there was a smart ass behind me going, what are you doing, taking him off? I ran up front and he goes, what are you doing, going up there? If you'll get to the back. I went up front and had a decent 20 minutes on the pitch. I scored. Again, I scored. It's going to be the last goal for Everton. A goal that has already clenched, but more importantly, it meant I had pulled on the shirt again. Unfortunately for me, I got my final appearance to get the 14 for that season to get me a medal. Quality, quality. You and these goals at the end, a goal to win leagues and stuff. It's great, but now... A goal is a goal. For me, the goal is a bonus. My job is to stop the goals. So, your body's on the line. You're trying to keep clean sheets. You're trying to stop people scoring against you. So, at the other end, it was a complete bonus, but when you're getting people like Trevor Stephen and Kevin Sheedy putting quality delivery in, anyone could have scored 20 goals that season because the service was always there. It was always in the right spot. It wasn't me. It was Andy Gray. It was Graham Sharp. It was Inchee. It was someone else because the service was always good. I didn't hit the first man. I always missed the first man or got a little touch on it. That's the difference now. I don't see the quality delivery goals that I used to receive from Sheeds. You know, Sheeds tells a good story. The semi-final goal. He should have a look up and he could put the ball down and he'd see me make it a run. And he just put the ball in the area. And I'd just go and hit it. And it's not about the ball. Then they'd run it. It's the run that can attract the ball. And Sheeds was great to put the balls in the right area for people. And Sharpie said the same. So were Andy. The balls in the right area means you're going to score goals. Well, just very quickly, just on the modern dating now because this is something we're all very critical of the way I have it now. And we've got some big units in our team going up for set plays, corners, free kicks. Why have they never gotten on the end of anything? Is it quality? I mean, Sheeds a lot of evidence. Is it quality delivery or is it them not doing enough? Is it quality delivery? Is it a lack of determination to get on the ball or are you frightened to get an ace? I didn't get the monkey. I just... I've got more bruises and broken noses by going in when it shouldn't have done because I wanted to get on the end of things. But I think it's all about delivery. The best teams have the better delivery. If you think about a corner free kick, it's the only time in a game when you can put a ball into the box without being challenged. So it should be the best delivery of anything. But people can run down the line and whip a ball in better than putting a stationery ball in. I could never wear that one out because I was quite lucky when Swastonville had Gordon Cowan doing the same putting quality delivery. Anyone who gets a lot of goals like I have had, it comes from delivery. And I just think if you take a bit more care with your final ball in, you deliver your ball and you're going to get more goals, but then you do need the players making the right runs. And if it means walking someone off and wanting to get on the end of it and score a goal, take a broken nose, take a bruised eye, take a clip on the head, but get your head on the ball and put it in the back of the net. There you go. Great stories, Derek, as usual. There you go. There you go. Thanks, he's shit.
