@Eggs
I remember reading an interview years ago, Temple was asked to 'talk us through the goal', he said, after seeing Springett 'pull Young down'...his words, he decide early on to go nowhere near him and shoot as soon as he could and not try to take it round him.
See, even he knew it was deffo a pen.

Went to every game round by round, both replays against City,
Colin Harvey scoring a goal... wow ...at Burnden Park against Man ,Utd. in the Semi.
Had Programme Vouchers and queued up for hours to get my Wembley Ticket.
Absolutely gobsmacked and crying at 2-0 down against Wednesday,
But what a comeback from Everton...as we all know ..won 3-2
Spent sometime in Trafalgar Square Fountains dyeing the water Blue and showing our banner
Everton The Gear....
Happy Days and Happy Memories
Still can,t remember what time we got back home....

I got my 66 ticket of the program vouchers too

For the 68 semi there were more ST holders than tickets, so in the Echo it said only Even numbers would be eligible.
I pulled my little book out my number ended in an odd number.
I was initially disappointed, then I thought well I'll get a final ticket - which I did.
( I later got a semi ticket from somewhere else I forget where.)

We got to the final and sure enough in the echo it said Odd numbers.
Then as the final got nearer, before the KO for a league game they made an announcement - There was a change to the cup final ST allocation.

As the even numbers had got semi tickets, then the odd numbers would get final tickets - so far so good.

EXCEPT FOR TICKETS END IN 1
Somebody had forgotten about tickets ending in Zero.

I remember some guy close to where I was standing going off his crust...must've had the unlucky number.

Less said about the actual Final the better

Fantastic!

That team looked good great in the FA cup , but yet so average in the league season - notice a very young Jimmy Husband there -plus an unknown hero to be -

 

[Joey66]

Poor Fred he was Man enough to say his knee was not right despite scoring a few goals in the final run up in the league yet disappointed when only chairman John Moores broke the news to him before the Catt - he understood it was far to much of a risk in the days of no substitutes -

The blue & white shirts were worn for the Club’s first four seasons and were the shirts wore in their final season at Anfield. John Houlding had paid for the kit, & wasn’t letting it go to Goodison - he even trued to keep our name when we moved but an appeal to the FA stopped him and that lot were spawned.....

Blue Streak. Did anyone ever travel on it. I used the special early 70s and normal trains after that to get to matches.
Was blue Streak a special train or did Everton just take over a few carriages on a normal train. Did you get a meal. And what were the girls doing (clean answers only). Don't think it lasted long so must have been expensive

I'm in there somewhere - the scoreboard end.

 

[Joey66]

The GV adorned by our fans in 1966 robbed of a pen & a dubious offside goal - how ironical stood next to him is the match winner Mike Tribilcock -

I must have listened to this album till it wore out -

Agent Johnson with big Joe......

Westy saves us here in the 1966 final - coming for the ball - not like our keeper today.......-
