I am indebted to my Evertonian son for pointing out that 16 year old James Vaughn scored on his Everton debut 13 years ago today in a 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace. Seems like only yesterday.

Didn't Arteta net a free-kick that match?
Ah, to have an Arteta quality centre mid in the current squad.

First goal. Iffy decision to give it (Oh yes it was) but beautifully executed past a dispairing Gabor Kiraly, the Hungarian who never took his tracky bottoms off.

Remember it well. The things we did to try and wipe Rooney from our record books.
I loved that match. I took my nephew and two nieces, Everton won 4 - 0, Arteta scored his first goal for Everton, Cahill got two, and James Vaughan scored our fourth late on to make him our youngest ever goalscorer; within minutes, the chant went up, "You can stick your Wayne Rooney up your a*'e".

It was Artetas first goal, didn't he upset a few people by running and celebrating in front of the Palace fans and he apologised after.

I was in New York watching that. Remember it well. Which is weird as I can't remember where I was last week
The remarkable thing is how low the points total was to finish in the top four too. Only 61 points - Martinez's team in his first season finished 5th with 72.
Still, it was a great season to be a Blue, especially after the preceding summer where we'd replaced Rooney with Marcus Bent and didn't have a pot to piss in. The run around October/November/December in particular was ace, remember going down to Norwich for a 12.45 KO singing 'We're gonna win the league' after winning 3-2.

Probably the most successful season many young blues remember. Best not think about anything that happened the second the league season finished though.
Didnt he think the palace fans were home fans as he mistook their booing of Cahill as support? Ironic given the last few years
