November the 5th 1971 - we beat Borussia Monchengladbach the German Champions & favourites for the European Cup at Goodison in the first ever penalty shoot out - what a game it never stopped raining 2-2 after two legs - then pens - we won 5-4 - Andy Rankin our hero saving the last pen - they look dejected - they were a very good team -
I'm sure that was a fa cup tie with us being in yellow won 2-1 attendance was just under 50000
It was our championship year 1969/70 - I went to every home game & many away games with my older brother - what a side - Leeds at home they were unbeaten arrived at the ground 90 minutes early as fans got locked outside that day - we were 3-0 up my hero scored 2 - we outplayed them two late goals for them ruined our domination over them -we chased them hard for the title that season & won it in style that why it was packed the football was a delight to watch ...
The Holy Trinity were a delight to watch - but suspensions to Alan Ball & a bad eye injury to Colin Harvey he almost went blind in one eye - Tommy Jackson filled the void admirably for both of them - plus Alan Whittle was a big bonus in the run in for the title
The norm that year we were champions at the end of that season - it cant be an FA Cup tie as we were knocked out that season by Sheffield United away 2-1 - I was there .... the season we won the league ...
1968-69 season Joe
Yes spot on - We got to the semi finals v Manchester City to get beat at Villa park 1-0 in the dying minutes - awful game HK went off injured they stifled Bally in a dour game - to score in the last 5-10 minutes - I was sadly there awful game - we would have beat them in a replay doh -

Top photo - Vogts and Netzer, two great players. I remember Netzer running England ragged at Wembley a year or so later.
Bottom photo is their goalie, Wolfgang Kleff - he had a great game that night.
…..remember that night, Rankin quite small but a terrific shot stopper. Think Joe Royle missed his pen and Sandy Brown blasted the winner but could have that wrong.
Yes Joe missed the first pen & tgeys scored theirs we all thought we were out - the a fan shouted it's the best of 5 idiots
- Sandy pen was hit that hard it nearly burst the net it may have been the last pen he was on as a substitute-Andy Rankin admitted he well move to save the last pen - the ground erupted in the poring rain it never stopped the whole game a historic night!
Nice to see you back on the thread & the GOT
