6-2 Eggs,come on mate...a few months after they beat us in the FA Cup Final. We beat them 6-0 away just before that final. I was there, it brings back unhappy memories.

My Mum and Nan had to stay outside Wembley, with the Dog lol.
Hottest Cup final favourites in YEARS!
Only quite recently though mate in the greater scheme of things! Not long ago they were in the 3rd tier!...I was there too, Dixie. As bad as it was, I was actually worst when Tommy Booth scored in the last minute at Villa Park. I was a devastated child standing outside the ground that day. I distinctly remember a Man City fan coming up to me afterwards; “you support Everton, son, you’ll have plenty of good times”. Ironic how things turned out for City.

On topic I literally cried for hours on the way up the M6 after that match. Even my mild-mannered Dad said “ for God’s sake shut up!!” Stuck behind a City fans’ coach with the words Tommy Booth from torn up newspapers in the back window for about 6 hours!!!!
