Speaking to a Stoke City fan at work I recalled one of my first ever away games watching Everton - It was 8th September 1979 at the Victoria Ground in Stoke. Everton won 3-2 and the atmosphere was amazing. I remember the result but not too much about the game but looking at the result on worldfootball.net The scoring went thus:
0 : 1 Andy King 45.
0 : 2 John Bailey 45.
1 : 2 Brendan O'Callaghan 45.
2 : 2 Denis Smith 45.
2 : 3 Samuel Irvine 75. / own goal
Unfortunately it doesn’t give the Half Time score as I was wondering whether the goals were either side of Half Time. Seems strange that 4 goals scored on 45 minutes but I suppose in the olden days they never bothered timing extra time in first half like they do now – 45+2 and all that. Does anyone know the Half Time score or have any recollection of the match or was actually at the game? One thing I remember was a lot of missiles being hurled towards the Everton fans on the walk back to the station and police videoing the proceedings. I suppose it was still in the era of ‘the bad old days’ of hooligans plus the Stoke fans pretty displeased with being beaten on their home ground.
