Best First Goals For Everton

[maccavennie]

Sorry. I've had to give that to John Ebbrell.....

Harsh! Ebbrell would have claimed that as well

There was another 18 year old who scored on his Goodison debut.
He went on to be not a bad player and made a decent career for himself too.

Spoiler

William Ralph 'Dixie' Dean (I'm not sure what the goal was like though)

He was the original fox in the box.

I was at that away game at Fulham. Second half goal, around the 65th minute. In those days the away end at Fulham was not behind one of the goals, but the open-to-the-elements terracing that backed onto the Thames.

....it must be a few years since you left school OB. Good on you for recalling that magic day.

I was 8, this reminds me of how I remember Everton growing up. Love it.

Christ. I feel old now. I was 21, working in Dublin for a week, so had to miss that game.
The only phone in the hotel wasn't working so didn't find out the score until the next day.

Looks like he had a few before this one but what a blinder.

Left school in July '69.

I was mad in those days. One time, left school at 4:00, bus straight into the city centre. Train from Lime Street to see us play Man City in the 6th Round, second replay at Molyneux in '66. Stood in the Everton end in full school uniform and satchel on my back. Won 2-0. Football special back to Lime Street. Got home about 3 a.m. the next morning and was up for school at 7:30 to catch the first of two buses at 8:00! Happy days as a 15 year-old!

I was fortunate enough to see Everton win the League and the FA Cup before my 16th birthday...

One of the rules of GOT, we've all been there. Some on a daily/hourly basis.

I left school July 1969 too. One month before my 15th birthday.

Stop trying to cheer me up. I've let everyone down.

So you should recall the '62-'63 Champions and the '66 Cup winners as well, kev...

I wasn't trying to cheer you up, I was just pointing out that you're not the only buffoon on here
