This has to be the one- but then Barry Horne
I was there, it was a thing of beauty.
Thank you Jesus, you listened to me many times on that day.

Getting bopped by Bolton at Goodison, was it 4-0? Cahill having his goal chalked off against them same season at Goodison. Not smashing leeds everywhere when Matteo was red carded - the game Risdale walked the pitch to explain to the leeds fans about bryan kidd. Getting badly fudged over by Collina. Fudging ourselves at Bucaresti.
All the low ebbs fall away with one shining example though, like Fergusons winner vs ManU or Carsley vs the real scum of the universe. Naysmith freekick on mayday at Goodison vs Spurs. Beattie winner in the Henry-linesman derby at goodison. Beattie header vs Blackburn in the most crowd bad tempered game I have ever heard of let alone been part of. It is f****** awesome battling against the odds and coming through it victorious - two fingers to bad luck and all the other stuff.

The final whistle was amazing, I can remember the feeling sat here now.
Going two nil down made me sick to the stomach, it was weird in the ground at the time.

I bet. Every now and again i watch the video on youtube.
Surely all hope must of gone at half time.
Still to this day though i'd wanna give Limpar a good slapping for that handball even though it dodn't ultimately cost us.

Definitely this. I've always been an optimist for as long as I can remember but when that second goal went in I felt like my world was collapsing. I've never felt so empty as I did at that point, Upper Bullens was a morgue (ok somethings don't change).
Thank God for Barry.
That game...my nerves have been shot ever since. The Boro match Hayee mentioned was also a real downer. We had no class and no fight, it was pathetic. Every single menber of that side should've had a Nyarko moment pulled on them in front of the cameras.

I remember we lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal, Ginola made his debut and Linderoth scored an OG.
It was on sky and it was a dark rainy day. The match was sh1te and Arsenal grinded out a win. I remember thinking 'we are sh1te, we have no good players and we will never do anything decent again apart from finish 14th every season'
The crowd that day were dead, Goodison had no atmosphere and Everton were just dull. How times have thankfully changed

The day Duncan was sold to Newcastle...
I know I should say one of the many "worst games ever" that are mentioned earlier.
But losing Duncan hit me hard.
It was a rough time to follow Everton. No one seemed to have any expections and for a few seasons I remember looking at the last game of the season when the fixture list was announced trying to see what might happen if it came down to that game.
Duncan, when he played, was the brightest hope.
I lose track of the immediate aftermath, but it without looking things up doesn't that signal the end of the Peter Johnson era?
I'd only followed the team since HK3. Although people talked about the glory of the 1980s teams, I thought it was always going to be like that.
Whew! Need a beer after that post...

He redeemed himself winning the penalty for Stuart to tuck away.
The Horne goal was the most unexpected thing in the history of man, it took three seconds for anyone to react.
It's too easy now to forget how awful we were.

Missed that, because of some awful planning on my side. Was the first time I visited Liverpool and decided to watch the matches against Coventry at home and the Leeds United one at Elland Road. I just should have waited for another week, so I would have been at Goodison that day. Instead now I was sitting in my room watching BBC's ceefax and final score. No internet and no live showing at that time. Remember the BBC reporter going to Goodison, because Everton were 2-0 down and looked down and out. The come back was great though and it was one of the happiest days in my life, when I saw the full scale pitch invasion at the end, by overjoyed Evertonians. Have the 'on the edge' video at home and watched it many times over.

Watching the break-up of one of our best ever teams in the late 80's. No blame attached, it was just sad to watch.
5th November 1989.
I was at school in Birmingham at the time, so went to see the Villa match with a load of mates, but we were sat in the Main Stand as they were all in claret and blue.
Total unmitigated fcuking disaster. It was so bad that at 6-0 they stopped taking the piss, but started again when we got one back with about 10 minutes to go. It finished 6-2 and it was a truly horrible experience.
And that was supposed to be before we'd got properly sh it
