First match & best match

[Housequake]

First match: Forest at home, February 1997. Won 2-0 with Big Dunc and Barmby on the scoresheet.

Best is not a well known or glamorous game but it was against Spurs in late 2009, 2-0 down Coleman comes on for his home debut and tears Tottenham apart single handed, Cahill equalised late on and I crowd surfed through the lower Gwladys. Howard then topped it by saving from Defoe only a couple of minutes later, absolutely boss game.

First match - KR Reykjavik (ECWC (H)) Won 3-1 - Can't remember a thing. I do remember seeing us against newcastle that season though. I wasn't very old, 5?

Best match? Probably beating the shjite at home in the FA cup replay - Gosling scored and I nearly ended up flying over the edge of the top balcony. Mental. I think I cried with joy.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

First match- Burnley (H) 1968 won 3.0 broke my arm falling off a crush barrier only found out the score after waking up in alder hey hospital, done it before the game started. best Bayern Munich

 

[Blue 1]

First match:

Leicester City 1 - 2 Everton February 1985

Best game:

Norwich City 0 - 1 Everton May 1987

Game was nothing special, Pat Van Den Hauwe scored after about 2 minutes and that was that, but being there to see us win the league will probably not be topped.

Best - Everton 3 Bayern 1 or Everton 2 QPR 0 both 1985.

first match would have been away to Wimbledon at Plough lane in about 1986 ,we lived local to their so my dad took me every year for a few years....and we seemed to lose every time, usually 3-1.

Favourite game is hard to pick so Im having 2. My first trip to Goodison and Mike Walkers first game in charge when I was about 14, 6-2 vs Swindon, Cottee hatrick, Brett Angel debut. Amazing

The Carsley derby. Took my Canadian girlfriend (Now wife) to this game, suddenly she understood why I love it all so much, the celebrations, 35000 ppl going absolutely mental when we scored, the dancing on the tables in the pub after was brilliant, she has been an Everton fan every since and she holds her own talking to English blokes about footy which is the last thing they would expect from a Canadian girl.
Im getting emotional just thinking about it!

 

[Ashtonluke]

First: Everton 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday in 1992 (first season of PL)
Best: Everton 1-0 West Ham on 1 November 1994- i was the everton mascot for the game- it was mike walker's first win (indeed our first win that season) as manager shortly before he was sacked and joe royle came in

 

[Shibbywiggles]

First home game was in 1996. 2-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday, Michael Branch hit the bar! I can't remember my first actual game as I was too young but we went to a few away to West Ham and Wimbledon a lot!

Best was beating West Ham 6-0 at home. When we went five up I remember the West Ham fans all singing "we want six!" and then cheering when we scored again! Great banter!

 

[bcblue1878]

First match: v Blackpool reserves in 1965 with my Dad, can still remember "that feeling" even now!

Best match: Hard to choose from many, but its between West Brom game in 1970 under the floodlights to win the league, or Bayern Munich in 1985! Both great games and great atmospheres, unforgettable!!

 

[sexualchocolate]

first match was in the 89-90 season i think, derby game at goodison, Mo Johnson nabbed a very scrappy equaliser in a poor game

best match was the last time we won at anfield (until this season that is) kevin campbell with the only goal

 

[Dymak]

The first game that I can remember going to was a 3-1 home win against Spurs in 1991, Cottee scored a hat-trick.

Best game was the Semi-Final in 1995.

 

[Billy Dean]

1st QPR away I think in 1991, we lost 1-0 (Sinton)
Best QPR away 1995, we came back from 2-1 down to win 3-2 with a Hinchcliffe free-kick in the last minute. Lovely moment. Also I remember that game as we were playing very poorly, and the whole Blues end was chanting for ages for Big Joe to bring Amo on. Joe obliged and it was Amo's performance that turned the game.

 

[matttttt]

1st was villa v blues @ villa park in 84/85 as a 7 year old.

went to a fair few in the mid 80s glory years, before the barren years that followed. Maybe my fav was recently - 2-0 against Chelsea last year (march?) when the Straq popped one in towards the end. great atmosphere in Gladwys St
