The Cadamarteri derby

[TGW89]

Kvarme was quickly dispossessed and Danny was away, only Ruddock chased back to give any cover but the lad second guessed him with a jink and a shot. Magic. Magic. Magic.

Those were the words written by Guy McEvoy 25 years ago today, as Everton thumped a very poor Liverpool team in their best performance of an otherwise abysmal 1997/98 campaign.

Since that day, we have seen just three home league derby victories. Three.... in a quarter of a century.

Was anyone there?

Yes sir, I was there….

 

[garyw]

Oh Danny boy , oh Danny boy yes I was there , what same he faded into oblivion

 

[Moomin]

Yes, I was.

I remember a fried betting with a kopite friend that Danny would go on to score more goals than Owen.

 

[Loadsofchemistry]

That was 3 days after they were all having murder on the pitch with Howard at the end of a thumping away to Coventry, no one gave us a hope that day.

A tale of what might have been. A friend is a Dundee Utd fan and I remember him raving they had the best player in Scotland for a few months when they got him late in his career

Yes - cracking goal

Feels like a lot longer ago than 25 years

Won player of the month in the spl in August. Out the side by the end of the season
Certainly knew how to burst on the scene

 

[Big Neville Southall]

Yes, I was.

Haha, I argued the same!

 

[AsiaAsia82]

VAR would of pulled that back for some reason nowadays

 

[Eggs]

….I was doing the Florida theme parks with the family so I remember it well. I was in a queue of traffic on International Drive, saw a car with a RS next to us, couldn’t resist winding the window down & asking if he knew the score!!

Went to a shopping mall, my son had his Everton top on and quite a few people came up to us saying they were chuffed at the result.

 

[john jako]

Remember him having a two page spread in the echo and genuinely believing he was going to be a worldie.

The new Michael Branch.

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I was working at the top of the water slide at Southport fair with it on the radio.

When I scored I kept sounding the buzzer and pulled down my Pleasureland jumpsuit with my Everton shirt underneath.

Reds in the queue on the ground below giving it fingers, Blues realising we must have scored and bouncing up and down then asking me what happened and hugging me when they got to the top.

Days before fancy mobiles giving scores, for me and most at least, radio was still king for those not fortunate enough to be present themselves.

That’s brilliant!
I also worked at Pleasureland around 92-94, just on one of the kids’ carousels. Players would often bring their kids and I’d try and talk to them. Remember asking Beardsley if he was leaving for Newcastle and his face said it all. Guess I’d have been ITK at that point!

Was also at the Danny Cad derby, great day. But insane we’ve only won 3 of 25 home league derbies since then.
