On this day, Paul McCartney, alongside his childhood friend Ivan Vaughn and amidst a crowd of fans, visited Wembley Stadium to witness Everton compete in the FA Cup final against West Bromwich Albion.

From Football Sixties Special – Golden Years | Daily Mail Online – Here is Beatle Sir Paul McCartney arriving at Wembley for the 1968 FA Cup final between Everton and West Bromwich Albion. It has always been a matter of interest in Liverpool as to which of the city’s two big football clubs was supported by members of The Beatles. Although not a huge football fan, McCartney admitted in recent years that his family supported Everton, saying in a 2008 interview that ‘if it comes to the crunch, then I’m an Evertonian’
