Ex players on the pitch Sunday:

[rochdaleblue]

Yep this is correct

I think they tried to smooth it between them but to no avail

Who did he fall out with? So sad if that’s the case, to miss yesterday.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Hasn’t drank for years and he wasn’t , Reidy on the other hand …

Dunc looked high on something - must have been adrenaline though Great passion for the club!

 

[Dancing Pat]

Watching those older players had me in bits, as life goes by in a flash, and those childhood hero’s brought back so many memories of GP as a kid with my dad. It’s sobering to see them as old men.

Well amazing day yesterday - still haven't come down! I don't actually know who was there, player wise. The PA system was awful and muffled so couldn't hear it properly. I haven't yet had chance to watch it back.

Lescott had some cheek to show up! Notable omissions - Peter Beagrie. Gravenson, Carsley. Andy Johnson. Madar. Bakayoko. The Yak. Kanchelskis. I was a little disappointed each player never got a personal introduction, a chance to wave to the crowd. Suppose they may say 'it would take all day' but so what? This was a momentous occasion and fans would be happy to be there all day.

Would like to know this aswell. Never knew he had a falling out with anyone

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

Who are we talking about?

A number of those players were pulling on the Blue shirt before I was born. But would love to think many would be invited back to the first game at Bramley Moore. Tony Kay, Derek Temple and Johnny Morrissey might not get many more times to visit. Be a nice way to link the past to the new. Don't really like the idea that yesterday was the last time we'll see so many of those greats on the pitch.

Wonder where Mike Trebilcock was. Now there's a fellow with an important place in our history.

 

[twoblue]

Surprised Beckford is there, TBH.

Did score one of the best solo goals I’ve seen at goodison…
Then again so did Kevin davies

 

[shagpuss]

Didn't Beckford also score a stunning last minute equaliser against Bolton in front of the Gwladys?

PVH ? I think

I watched it at home with my dad and he couldn't recognise any of his childhood heroes (early to mid 60s). I know most of them have past away but I don't recall seeing Colin Harvey. Joe Royle was there but he was a little bit later.

Hearing reports that Paul Gascoigne's just turned up outside Goodison carrying lager, a fishing rod and fried chicken.

 

[HKContractDave]

Best sports coverage you could have. They put all other media sports coverage teams to shame.

Phil the Blue and Mike Hughes did really well. Could tell Phil was quite emotional at times during the coverage. I got a bit teary listening back this morning as well.

I suppose their names were called out in the eras that they played and each player got their individual cheer.

PVH ? I think

Yeah
