Roger Kenyon's 1968 F.A. Cup runners-up medal in presentation Everton F.C. display stand, the medal in 9ct. gold, inscribed THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, CHALLENGE CUP, RUNNERS-UP, EVERTON F.C., R.N. KENYON; displayed in the original club-commissioned oak display stand faced with a silvered plaque engraved with the club name and crest and details of the Everton finalists, team management, directors and officials, 16cm., 6 1/4in. square Roger Kenyon was born in Blackpool 4th January 1949. The central defender made his first-team debut for Everton during season 1967-68. He was an unused substitute in the 1968 F.A. Cup final v West Bromwich Albion. Kenyon came to prominence at Goodison Park when replacing the injured Brian Labone during the championship run-in of 1969/70 with a series of assured displays that helped the Toffees clinch the title. When Labone's career was cut short by injury in 1971, Kenyon's place in the Everton first-team was cemented for years to come including club captaincy. After 254 League appearances, he left Goodison Park in February 1979 and finished his career at the Vancouver Whitecaps.
