How many times have you seen Everton live?

[dave abrahams]

Heard that one pinchbeck Dave,yeah another on the old mans roll of dishonour!!Yep TG Jones,the prince of centre halves!we had another Tommy Jones as well,my old man always refers to Tommy "bonecrusher" Clinton,used to send the wingers onto the old cinder track and missed a pen in the semi v Bolton we lost 4-3,he missed it at 4-0 down but got held responsible for our defeat poor fella!!!

Yes Dario T.E. Jones played in the promotion team of 1953-4, good strong centre half, good penalty taker, scored from about forty yards in the final game of the promotion season v Oldham Ath. Tommy Clinton one of the many Eire players
who turned out for the club in the forties and fifties, the penalty he missed, just before half time, could have been a game changer, that was my first away game watching Everton.

I have seen all of the following score for Everton......Nyarko, McGeady, Branch, Ablett, Hottiger, Van Den Hauwe (twice!), Power, Kenny, Dacourt, Madar, Marshall......the good, the bad and the ugly in there!

Played up here and SouthWest through the 60s and 70s and went to as many as possible, I worked away a lot and had to keep up with
Football Focus and MOTD. I didn't see TG Jones, but I heard that Tommy Lawtons wife did? I also heard that in the early 50s Evertons
goalie at that time was Jimmy O'Neill, who was seen throwing up on a goalpost after Tommy Clinton had given an opposing winger a
compound fracture to a leg.

Interesting. . . How many times you seen the RS though?

That Oldham game was my first, my uncle took me, though I don't remember anything of the game.I do remember the longest journey in
the world the new road(East Lancs). I believe the East Lancs Road was 1933/35 and likewise The Tunnel 1933/35, I've no doubt someone will put me right.

Dave you should have a chat to my old fella mate!!he has always mentioned that Oldham game he went to and how they put tar on the walls to prevent our lot getting in,he's told me many,many times how his hero Davy Hickson carried us out of the old second division on his back!!

Started going with my Dad and Uncle in the mid/late sixties onward (lived in Walton so it wasn't far) . Bought my first season ticket in 1977, had one ever since. I've missed 5 home games since then. Factor in loads of away games ,cup finals / semi finals and I reckon I've been to far too many for my own sanity. Which explains a lot.

About 650. And I've enjoyed every minute

I'll miss Goodison when we go.
Not sure how I'll deal with it after we do leave. Nothing comes close to reaching those last few steps and seeing the lights, the people, the pitch.

Somebody said nothing will be the same.

How right they were

I can't imagine that last look of the pitch and the stands, probably over my shoulder on that final day. Walking out of Goodison for the last time will be one of the most emotional events of my life, I know that.

The memories we'll take with us though, and the emotions we'll leave behind will give us stories to tell forever. Met some absolute brilliant people over the years at GP and a great bunch who I still sit amongst week in, week out. How we all re congregate together in a new stadium will be difficult.

I'll be carrying a seat and a bit of turf........

No matter what we go to, and I know it will be a great stadium on Bramley Moore Docks, what is left behind has almost incomprehensible value in terms of memories, friendships, shared experiences, community and family history. For me, I must be there on that final day, preferably one of the very last to leave the stadium as my great granddad was one of the very first to enter it - it will be an alpha and omega moment, in family terms there at the beginning and the end.
