Fellaini vs United.

It was my first game in the Gwladys with a season ticket. So boss.

 

[Portland Toffee]

Looks like Rom could be out now too - Unreal we have not strengthened up front before the first game.

QPR 0 Everton 4, with 10 men!!! I think Mick Bernard was sent off. August 1976 iirc.

Listening to Everton get murdered by Leeds while I was in fog covered beach in Brittany!!!! The Big Nev protest game!!

 

[allezlesbleus]

Fellaini 1-0 versus United was excellent.

 

[evertoniano]

The one I remember most was 84/85, lots of hope after the FA Cup win and getting tonked 4-1 by Spurs at Goodison. Was a long way back home to Wolverhampton, but thankfully the end of the season was fine

Villa 2-2 was 94/95.

I'm on about 95/96 mate.

Oh right I'm still certain shearer didn't sign for Newcastle until 96/97, Blackburn we're going into 95/96 as champions and had champions league football and I'm sure shearer stayed for that.

EFC 2 - Watford 1

Andy Johnson / Lee Carsley with the opener
Lescott came on halfway through as a leftback because someone got injured - had no idea where to position himself from my viewpoint in the top balcony
EFC penalty when a watford header was ruled a handball to make it 2-0 in the 80something
Watford consolation goal in the 87th but made for a nervy ending

Yep you're right;

Shearer made his league debut away at Everton, on 17 August 1996

96/97 season opener then. Cracking display.
