Best you've ever felt at an EFC match/worst you've ever felt at an EFC match?

[blue61]

Best - Tough one, I could pick a couple of last minute goals in cup semi finals courtesy of Heath and Sheedy or the obvious Bayern Munich, but I don't think I've ever been in a set of more ecstatic fans as when Andy King volleyed past Ray Clemence in 77, still fresh in the memory.
Worst - I was going to say 0-5 at home to the sh*te, made even worse by having to go to a family do that evening and be grinned at by family kopites. But 0-2 at home to Coventry in the Mike Walker era was the only time I've walked out early with 15 minutes to go, to the accompanying chants of "going down" from the coventry fans. I vowed never to set foot in the stadium while he was still manager, fortunately he was sacked soon after.

Best - Semi-final 95 against Spurs when we fcuking bossed them off the park.

Worst - 2002 QF away to Middlesbrough, got beat 3-0 nil

My best was April 1970 when we beat WBA to clinch the championship. I was 14 years old....no responsibilities....life was good. We'd been sublime all season. That night, I was born along on a cloud of euphoria along with everyone else inside the ground. Can't recall who got the first goal but Harvey's effort for the second and clinching goal was right up there. Jink one way, jink the other...back again and....bang: right in the top corner at the Park End. When the team reemerged form the tunnel to be proclaimed champions, the flash bulbs lent the atmosphere a surreal, dream-like air. Joe Royle fist pumping in front of the GSE.

It surpasses Bayern, Rotterdam, Wembley 84, 95 (wasn't at 66) championships in 85 and 87 and all the semis we've played. That memory will never leave me.

Worst: The second Maine Road semi under lights in 77. I just knew we wouldn't be able to beat them again. Still attended like....couldn't stay away.

Yep that semi was bad.But I really thought we'd beat them the second time.I remember the coin throwing ,so much for friendly derbies.
Best for me strangely the Wimbledon great escape,every possible emotion that day.

 

[PaddyG]

So so difficult this.

Best - Maybe when Arteta scored to make it 2-0 away at City. He came straight over to where I was to celebrate it was just boss.

Worst - I think losing at home to Reading 1-0. That hurt. After all we did at Chelsea to get through as well.

 

[Rabscallion]

Oh that Wimbledon game ........ every emotion as mentioned above. When Varadi scored the second against Liverpool when we won 2-1 in the FA Cup in 1981, sticks with me- amazing!

Bob Latchford's equalizer against West ham in the FA Cup Semi final the year before and I guess the West Ham winner several minutes later is the worst. I really thought we'd win it all -so painful.

Watching Kendall's face as the boys went up the steps to pick up the Cup also sticks with me. I could go on but... will just finish with the Bayern game and the final of course. Although I watched that on TV, it's a bit of a 'where were you when' moment that one.

 

[black country blue]

Totally agree with both Furey1878's...the atmosphere for the Big Dunc game against the Mancs was the best I've known for years,and it took me the rest of the season to get over the Wigan shambles, both games typical Everton high as a kite one minute..lower than a snakes bollocks the next!!

V WBA Alan Whittle got the first goal I was there about the same age as you I was in the park end, and Harvey's goal was a screamer of a shot & goal!- Goodison rocked that night!

.........Give it a go mate

...okeedokee.
Good - Temple scoring the winner.
Bad - I felt terrible when McAllister scored that goal at the Old Lady. For some reason that stands out.

I've had plenty of highs and lows - some would be the obvious games, some not so obvious.

The low is easy - 0-4 at home to Bolton (2005) - the only time I've ever questioned the futility of supporting the team by attending (my mother died 11 days later).

The high - well that could be any great win really so I'm going to plump for the run in to the 1985 title - being at the game when the league title is won (or awarded) is something else - so QPR 1985 meets that score - having left work (40 miles away) at 2pm and racing down the motorway to GP - getting in at about 2.59. But I really think that's trumped by being at White Hart Lane a few weeks before as we all but won the league with a majestic 2-1 victory over Spurs (who had a load of home games in their run in and fancied themselves to win the league). Travelled down with my Dad and nearly got thrown out for celebrating our goals too vigorously among the locals.

...ah I remember it well and the Old Lady had that magical mist you often see at night games. Funny that most of Harvey's shots hit the corner flag but he also scored a memorable daisy cutter in an FA Cup semi final.

Yes that McAllister goal was a real sickener, and it was taken yards away from where it should have been taken
Another injustice for us against them b+++++++

 

[muddy mudguard]

Best - v Luton Town '85 FA Cup Semi Final at Villa Park. Sheedy & Mountfield - I honestly thought we'd lost that game, so to turn it round when and in the manner we did was awesome - plus I was like 11yrs old - so it meant more then!

Worst - '85 FA Cup Final - the first and only time I've cried over a football game. Absolutely devastated all the way back up the M6.

 

[Eggs]

That was in the league Cahill's equaliser wasn't it? On the Monday night. 88th minute 'ish' from an Arteta free-kick. Went mental. Bloke next to us after we stopped celebrating was about 8 rows down from us somehow. It was on the same week as the cup game when Lescott scored.

...reminds me of another 'low'. Bryan Hamilton denied winner by Clive Thomas in the semi-final at Maine Rd. I was in that horrible Kippax stand and it was honestly 5 minutes before realising we'd been denied (again, again).

 

[Khalekan]

Both high and low came on Wimbledon Day for me.

Lowest point ever, when we were 2-0 down.

Cried like a baby.....with happiness....after the final whistle.
