Your own sentimental memories of Goodison.

[StreetEndBlue]

Imagine we rent this out to United when they build their bizarre bazaar and then have to “visit” them for our “away” fixture…

Wouldn't be the first time we've rented out Goodison to Man Utd.

Why Man Utd played a home game at Goodison

How FA Cup fever really took hold when the Reds faced Liverpool in 1948.

I would love us to get Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman singing ''Time to say Goodbye'' after the Southampton game.There would not be a dry eye in the house.

I was born at home literally a goal kick away from Goodison . So growing up I saw the ground every day of my life more or less for 20+ years. Playing footy against the Bullens Rd gates, SPOT, 3 and in and 60 seconds, remember those games !! Managed to sneak in a couple of times and play on the hallowed turf for 5 minutes or so before being chased.
I still visited that same house many times a week until my Mum passed away ten years ago. Since then it's just the fortnightly visit to watch the Blues.
Therefore it's no single game for me, it's the memory of my childhood and my formative years that will give me a heavy heart on that last day.

My final visit before emigrating back in 2008. I knew it was probably my last time at Goodison and so it's turned out. It was difficult to leave. I think I touched every single seat on the way out.

Glad I got back for a game in the final season. Just walking up through all the terrace houses is magical for me.

In future years you`ll still be able to visit the area and walk through those same streets and maybe rekindle some of those memories, something other fans won`t be able to do as they destroy the area around their ground.

I think it was @Sharpys top lip that may have once said the shock of green during the summer and smell of grass after it’s freshly seeded and watered. It’s unreal. We don’t get much sun, but when goodison js hot, sunny and we win. I’ve never ever felt as good as I had.

Wet, cold, miserable dark nights at goodison at memorable for other reasons but walking out into the stadium, especially the main stand for me will always be special.

My pops taking me my first game

the Semi Final v Bayern Munich (of course)

Georgie Wood telling people behind his goal to eff off and making everyone laugh

Latchford pen v Chelsea for the 30 goals and the pitch invasion

Andy King whopper of a goal v the RS.

Wimbledon phew!

The QPR game when we became champs

Andrei Kanchelskis .... All of it. Andrei is a Scouser tra la la la

Booing

More booing

Surving relegation

Beating the RS

Beating Wimbledon 8-0 in league cup

So many laughs and great moments

The good friends made

The good friends and family members who were good Toffees whoa re no longer with us.

Howard Kendall

So many memories. So many ups and downs. I would not change a thing.

I will miss Goodison. I am getting on a bit now so it is bitter sweet for me moving grounds. But I understand that we need to do it, and the kids are gonna love the new gaff.

Blessed to be a Blue!

UTFT Forever!

We will end up with Sonia and Lee from Steps.

Dressing up in a blue and white dress with a lovely bonnet. Walking around the pitch and throwing Toffees to the happy fans. A wonderful day, that is, until I got home and found a bogey in me hair.


Yes, I am a bloke. But I can identify as the Toffee Lady if I want OK!
