Best atmosphere at Goodison?

[pablo315]

Not old enough for the 80’s games. My first Goodison derby was Joe Royals first game in charge. First time I had seen a packed Goodison under the lights and I was right behind the Glady goal when Duncan rose 16 feet in the air to plant the best header I ve ever watched live. The place exploded. Nothing will ever match that for a 14 year old kid.

Everton v Chelsea in the FA cup. Rocking atmosphere after Lukaku’s brilliant first goal.

The one that sticks in my mind was the evening derby game when Richard Dunne and Michael Ball made their first team debuts (at least I think it was their debuts but would be happy to be corrected if mistaken). When I got in to the Street end I was met by thousands of very merry Blues singing and bouncing up and down in the concourse, they looked like they had been on the juice all afternoon. This was then reinforced as I moved onto the terraces proper, everyone was bouncing, even the Upper Bullens. It was the best derby atmosphere I have experienced.

I wish I could have gone to a match when the Trinity were playing

Goodison must have been bouncing back then

Yeah I really enjoyed that one

Sadly that was back when I was still in the Main Stand. I would have loved to have been in the Street End for that one

For me it was Villareal but I may not have as large a sample size as some.
The atmosphere when the champions league music came on was immense.
When they scored first you could hear a pin drop, then the crowd got straight back up and got behind the team.
Would love to hear that music again at Goodison before we move….

The "Andy is our King 'derby atmosphere was rocking. That was my first live sight of win over the rs. What a goal. I was in the enclosure that day. We even stayed behind after the whistle singing.

I was in the upper Street End, and still ended up 2 or 3 rows in front in completely different seats!

Wherever you’re not going to be downwind of me.

Maybe not the best, but I really enjoyed the Big Dunc Chelsea game last year.

The atmosphere had been so poor for a while so it's great to actually hear Goodison properly behind the team

This. Me and my lad in the lower Bullens. Phil Neville’s debut from memory.

AJ's goal v Arsenal when it was pissing down. Lids flying everywhere...

I obviously wasn't there (it was on TV here), but that game will always stay with me as my wife passed away from cancer later that day. Ecstasy to agony within hours. Can't believe that was more than 13 years ago.

Surprised its not been mentioned but the 4-4 cup game was electric. Absolutely amazing game and the atmosphere reached fever pitch
