WHAT HAS SHOCKED YOU THE MOST AS AN EVERTONIAN?

[alan ball]

As an Evertonian, what about the club has shocked you the most. It may have been a bereavement of a former player or a result.
For me personally, the first thing that shocked and upset me was the sale of Alan Ball, I was absolutely devastated. Result wise. it would have to be the FA cup defeat in 68 to WBA. I seem to remember selling Joe Royle to Manchester City on Christmas eve 1974 ruined my Christmas
Obviously losing to underdogs in cup competitions is a blow but those mentioned are the main ones I can think of.
The deaths of Bally, Labby were also very sad having met Labby two days before he died to sign a picture from my childhood days.
The 5-0 defeat to the enemy will go on the list too.
One last one, I remember coming home from a game on the 21st December 1974 as we had just surrendered a 2 goal lead to relegation fodder Carlisle United and lost 3-2.
Howard Kendall to Bilbao? Another stinker
Isn't it funny what you can still remember? Over to you and your experiences

The fact that Phillip Neville was a professional footballer and Captain of our club. Makes me sick just thinking of it.

That time we were losing at home and Moyes brought on Hibbert and moved Neville into midfield.

 

[toffeejack]

when we beat united on pens at wembley, thought we had no chance when it went to pens.

losing 2-1 to shrewsbury was shocking and embarassing.

big dunc and rooney being sold are two that pop in my head 1st. but probs many more if i think about it.

1985/6 season absolute killer .

Those four minutes against Wigan

don't remind me, that was the last time I cried due to a game of football

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I'd say the Wigan game last season but I wasn't that surprised tbh.

I had a bad feeling even before I heard Neville was starting in midfield.

1985/6 season absolute killer .

I've often thought to myself I'd have rather we'd finished third and gone out in the semi that year!
