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...

I don't know how long this version was used for when the teams came out (I was a bit too young to go to the game back then) but here's a video of an FA cup tie against Walsall in 1972 with this version playing in the background. Somebody has done this version of it as well, might have to put...

16 years old, stood on the "ledge" bit of the Gwladys, to the right hand side of the goal when looking down at the pitch. That was my speck from 83 when I was old enough to go on my own or with mates until 85 when I started standing at the sides (Enclosure then paddock) and the paddock is where...

In the Leicester team, Peter Shilton obviously, there's Jeff Blockley who played in the 1st division and got an England cap - and Romeo Challenger who ended up being the drummer for Showaddywaddy !

Everton V Birmingham, December 1976. A 2-2 draw, they scored early on and then equalised in the last minute, so Everton couldn't even win my first match for me! In between their goals Duncan McKenzie scored twice on his home debut, and Trevor Francis had a penalty saved by David Lawson. One of...

My first cup tie was against Stoke in 1977. We won 2-0 and I think Billy Bingham got the sack a couple of days later? I loved the cup ties from my early years as a blue against Ipswich, Southampton, Villa and Liverpool, but a couple I really enjoyed were when we became the first team to knock...

Yes, that's what I had to do for four of us using my family/friends list. I picked our seats, put them in the basket and assigned each of our numbers to each seat.

Going off the Bank of England inflation calculator, a ticket for the Main Stand today would now be just over £180, and I know we don't have them anymore but the terraces would be under £100 ! And that was for 21 home game league season. Next year for season tickets it'll be between £730 and £900...

Gordon Lee's last home game, we lost 1-0 and it was Adrian Heath who scored their winner not long before he would join us, it was a brilliant goal too, probably some 25-30 yards out and into the top corner. I think at the time it was our lowest post war crowd (around 15,000 or so) - they'd drop...

Friend of mine just sent me this, a goal I've never seen before, a smart finish from Andy King to give Everton a 1-0 win at Derby back in 1979. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx_vX4rSCP_PMJ39aZcE-uJZJ70BO0Z3n5?si=ZzTz8VG1w3kQX39v

Of course we'll never know if we'd have won it, but it was an era when English clubs were very strong and successful in Europe. Between 1975 and 85 they won seven European cups (Liverpool 4, Forest 2 and Villa), and had two finalists (Leeds and Liverpool) plus Everton, Liverpool and Spurs (who...

Ha ha, yes, I think that's a fair description of him!

I don't remember that incident, but I do remember a game against them around that time when Chelsea's keeper had the ball in his arms ready to kick it down the pitch, as the players turned to go downfield one of their defenders (I think it was Monkou one of their centre halves?) gave Peter...

I remember my Dad taking me to this one, the last days of the Gordon Lee era. We were dreadful that day, the crowd was small and we lost 2-0. It was at least fitting that Joe Royle's last ever goal in football would come at Goodison when he scored for the visitors that afternoon. Also a young...

A 2-2 draw against Birmingham, December 1976, sat in the old Park End upper stand. It was brilliant seeing the ground with the lights on and with Everton in a proper royal blue shirt (they seem lighter now) and Birmingham in all yellow. Duncan Mackenzie scored twice on his home debut, not that I...

I dreamt that I took part in the half time crossbar challenge, but I had to do it in fancy dress....

A clip from Radio City before the League Cup final of 1977, with little bits of commentary from some of the ties from that cup run.

Yes, it was Duncan Ferguson was sent off as well. He might have had a few daft red cards, but that one was pretty harsh. I was at that game, he flicked on a header, the Leicester player who was running in from behind him got caught by Dunc's arm as he came down and promptly hit the deck, referee...

A horrible afternoon, but we were up against (let's be honest) a brilliant team at their peak and we had 10 men for most of the game. And quite a few of our team that afternoon would go on to enjoy a bit of success, so maybe they learnt a thing or two about how ruthless you have to be to get to...
