The one man show that was Alan Ball. 1966 World Cup Final.
Watched that game again a few months ago what am amazing display from a 21yr old, stood head and shoulders above everyone one else on that pitch that day, WHU fans always say that it was they that won the WC but it wasn't it was it was a little curly red head from Blackpool that won it.

And ask any of the England players who was MOTM, one name will be heard.
 
6-0 Andy,I know as I did a match report on that very game at School for English;)lol
For some daft reason, I always think of that game being 6-2 and I've no idea why.

Was a great game, I remember Gordon Lee kept having to shoehorn himself in and out of the dugout as the goals kept flowing. Thomas was at his very, very best...
We had to wait a long time to get a left winger that good again... One Kevin Sheedy ;)

Same season on the back of a very good run and hot favourites on boxing day we got done 6-2 at Goodison by Man U:confused::)(Don't give yourself nightmares Andy;):))
 
Alan Irvine the day we very unluckily lost to a late goal at OT in a Cup quarter final in 1983.

And Ronnie Goodlass at the same venue in a League Cup quarter final which we won 3-0 in 1976.

Both lads were wingers whom ripped United's defence a new one in their respective games.

And the Kanchelkis derby.....Andre ripped them apart ;)

Still having therapy for that one Dario, that was the day I began to truly hate Lou Macari... And it took me a while, but I finally got the last laugh on the little sod.
 

My buddy Dustin in my recreational league, guy is a tank plowing through the opposition. He once scored a hat trick before halftime that was wonderful. I assisted on one. Guy wore a big knee/leg brace thing but just tears through people. Good times
 
I am handicapped in this, cos I havnt seen Everton live not that many times, and mainly when we were junk. Or beaten at Wembley ages ago.

But. I did witness, live, Joe Royle producing a centre forward masterclass circa 1979 when he scored all 4 for Bristol City against Middlesborough on his debut. Cant recall if it was the perfect hat trick, (plus 1), but he deffo had 2 headers and 2 shots.
 
Did you tell him his chips were not a patch on the Goodison Supper Bar?;)lol

No mate, at the time he used to write a column in one of the red tops and in one of his articles, he slaughtered Everton and I was fuming.
He used to drive an Audi and I worked at the dealer where he bought the car from... a couple of days after that article, he came into the dealer to buy some parts for his car and I had the "pleasure" of having to serve him.

I got all the parts out, brought them to the counter and then, in front of other customers, I asked his name for the invoice and cracked on I had no idea who he was.
He gave it the old, "I'm Lou Macari" routine and I said, "and? Am I supposed to know who you are?"
He said, "I play for Man United, that Lou Macari".
I said, "I'm Andy, the Everton fan who's read that crap you wrote about us in that rag paper, yeah, that Andy".
Cue giggles from other customers.
He looked at me and said, "come on son, just serve me the parts."
"Not till you say you're sorry", says I... and I just stood there till he apologised.

I then made out his invoice, no discount, and held his ten pound note up to the light as though checking it wasn't a fake.

The other customers were loving it.

To be fair to the little sod, he took it well and every time he came into the dealership after that, he'd come and talk footie with me and the other guys over a cup of tea.
