I was 9, my dad took me, we were in the Park End. As well as Big Bob's goals, I have a memory of Billy Wright smashing one in from outside the penalty area down at the Park End in front of where we were stood - at least that's how I remember it, it was a long time ago!

I personally wouldn't have minded so much if they had it kick off after the Chelsea v Nottm Forest game, say 5:30? Would be more time after the game for people getting home, especially those bringing youngsters with them. Or a couple of post match pints while the crowds die down. We used to have...

Obviously I hope we go there and win whether it relegates them or not (they might already be down anyway), if they do drop it won't be just because we've beaten them, it'll be the other 37 games as well (though they may even end up doing the double over us this season). Personally I won't...

They did actually put it up on the screens, they just didn't announce it over the speakers. I can't remember the exact figure, somewhere around 50,200? I remember thinking when I saw it that it was around 2500 under capacity. Obviously a fair chunk of those empty seats was the visitors section.

That's sad news, I always remember this image of him in the match programme, he was invited to open a night club.

After playing on a Thursday night in the 3rd round this past two seasons, I'd be quite happy for us not to be on TV and hopefully playing at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and with sensible ticket prices it will hopefully be a full house with a big away following. The televised games for the 3rd...

Despite having a football daft father (both playing and watching) I had zero interest in football when I was very young so knew absolutely nothing about Everton (or Liverpool for that matter) which means I have no memories at all of them until my dad took me to my first game when I was 7. We...

I haven't used these services since we moved, so somebody else may have a better idea than me, but if you get off the underground at Lime Street, the soccerbus goes from Commutation Row near to the Walker Art Gallery, at least it's not far to walk from Lime Street? I've no idea how close to the...

I sit in the East lower. The last three home games I've seen these leaflets dotted around. A bloke who sits near me had one on Saturday, he's actually pretty quiet during the game, maybe the odd bit of "industrial language" but certainly not someone who's out of his seat every couple of minutes...

Seeing this made me think of the match we had against them when Martinez was the manager, battered them for 80 mins, lead 2-0 and threw it away right at the end. Going off the link below though, in this game in 1970, it was actually 1-1 with a few minutes to go, Everton retook the lead only for...

Latchford's hat trick goal v Coventry. My first full season watching Everton (i'd been to a handful of games the season before), sat in the old Park End upper stand towards the Bullens with my Dad watching Dave Thomas bombing towards us before putting it on a plate for Big Bob. it was a...

I remember the police kept us in the ground for ages after the game. One of my more surreal experiences watching Everton was them opening the perimeter fencing gates and making all of us on that terrace (around 5 to 6000 I would guess) walk across the full length of the pitch (I remember how...

Middlesbrough away in the FA cup in 88 was the most hostile place I ever saw Everton play. Bristol City in the FA cup in 95 and having to walk through a park near the stadium to get back to our car was a bit dodgy. In fact a lot of those FA cup ties we had in those years away to lower division...

At least it will give the viewing public a chance to see how obsessed they are with us and how much we matter to them!

He made up for it in his next appearance at Goodison!

What a night that was, one of the most one sided games you'd ever see. They had a goalie called Nigel Batch who was like Lev Yashin and Big Nev rolled into one that evening. To be fair to Grimsby, they were a fairly competent second division side back then, if the play offs had been introduced a...

Off work today so ended up going to the ticket office at Goodison. A little bit of a wait (maybe half an hour) but the staff (all the windows were in use) were very helpful given the pressure they must be under and sorted out my issues (to do with the Mansfield game). I know not everybody can...

I've always loved this Maradona goal for Napoli v Juventus. Not just the goal but the reactions to it as well. We hardly ever seem to see indirect free kicks inside the penalty area any more, this would just be given as a penalty now.

Possibly as it does sound a bit too clear for something that would be in the background? Though you can hear somebody speaking over the loudspeakers when the music ended. I'm sure there'll be a few Blues on here who'll remember if that version of it was regularly played when the teams came out...
