ROGER Kenyon came up with a novel way to conceal his blushes during a colourful penalty shoot-out at Prescot Cables FC last week - he donned a fake beard and hat!
Roger - no relation to PR guru Roger Kenyon - was a stalwart of more than 300 appearances for Everton between 1967 and 1978 yet never took a penalty kick during his time with the Toffees.
But recently he had to. Sticky problem - and something to chew over.
Roger was on the spot at Prescot in midweek - and saw his effort strike a post. So now we know why he had a penalty clause.
The shoot- out was filmed for use in the forthcoming Royal Court pantomime "Snow Blue and the 7 Blue Noses."
