Roger KENYON - Everton FC - League Appearances

Roger Kenyon came to prominence at Goodison Park when replacing the injured Brian Labone during the championship run-in of 1969/70, his assured displays meaning that the loss of England centre-half Labone did not damage the Toffees title charge. When Labone's career was cut short by injury in 1971 Roger was the ideal replacement and he remained a first team regular for years to come. He moved on to Vancouver Whitecaps in February 1979 after serving the club superbly for over a decade. Roger is pictured above during the match against Norwich on 6/9/1975.

He played 50 games for The Whitecaps in 1981-82 and then had spells at Blackpool and Altringham.
