I love these Sunday 2 p.m. kick offs.

They remind me of the first time we ever played on a Sunday.

Circa 1973, in the Cup home to Baggies.

55,000 of us crammed into Goodison during a period of power rationing due to a Tory manufactured industrial crisis which had us working a three day week and enduring power cuts.

The game was in January so it kicked off around 12.30 or 1 p.m. so as there was no need for floodlights.

And the club were not allowed to charge for admission on account of the prevailing Sunday trading laws.

You had to buy a programme at the turnstile to gain admission lol

Yes, teenagers....that is all within living memory. Just ask yer grandad ;)

(BTW...the game ended 0-0 and we lost the replay :mad:)
my cousin mentioned that game to me recently.
 

Are you unemployed?

Are you taller than 4'8" and lighter than 280 lbs?

Do you enjoy kicking a ball on infrequent occasions?

Join Everton!
 

I wouldn’t even put the vote up today what a crock we have been. We’ve just made them
look so good when they aren’t
