Everton great Derek Temple scored his only hat-trick for the club at Goodison Park but joked he never received the match ball because the club could not afford to give it away.

The 1966 FA Cup match-winner will be present this weekend for the visit of Southampton as the ground bids farewell to 133 years of men’s football.
