If there was one Everton match you wished you had been at but missed when was it?

[Scarecrow]

The '95 cup final for me. Got dragged kicking and screaming to Rhodes on a family holiday instead. Couldn't even watch it as the picture went in the bar, so had to make do with the lousy commentary.

People were looking around after the goal, wondering if we'd scored, such was the muted reaction from Motson.

I am now realising that network coverage took over from the regions from 1984. And, apparently, that game was not covered. The BBC showed West Ham v Arsenal and WBA v Southampton. ITV had the Big Match Live the following day, showing Forest v Liverpool.

Was a great game - blues going mental at FT.
If only i'd realised at the time this could be the last silverware I will see us lift.

Bayern Munich. Had a major operation that day in Walton Hospital. I had not missed a home game all season. Still guts me to this day.

That must have been a killer mate

Easy: Anfield in the autumn of 84.

It was. the op was on my left ear/skull. No earphones allowed but you could still hear faintly from the hospital radio jack socket (don't ask me how but you could). When Trevor Steven scored, I could have sworn that I was there, such was the noise of the crowd. The recuperation meant that I missed Rotterdam and Wembley as well. Made it back in time to see us beat the RS at Goodison when Aldridge missed a penalty

More seriously, I think I'd have to pick Everton 5-0 Manchester United.

That was the absolute peak of that team, in many ways. Thrashing United and winning at Anfield in the space of a week is, well, Heaven on Earth for an Evertonian. That 5-0 win must surely be the most forgotten signature performance of any great team in English football. It wasn't even televised...

I also went to old Trafford the following Wednesday when we beat them 2-1 in the league cup.we were 3-1 to beat them again. Betting on Everton that season was like a licence to print money the bookies gave us no respect.

The Munich game. I should have been at it but my car broke down on the M55 near Preston. Cost me a small sum to be towed off. Got home in time to watch it on Sportsnight
To add salt in the wounds, I was meeting my brother on the Gwaldys. He went to the match but obviously didn’t know what had happened to me .He’s a big red

I've got 2 and both FA cup semi finals. Southampton 84 due to a poxy family wedding. Spurs 95 because of my ex wife and a large part of that weekend was why she's an ex !!!

 

[Cameron Manning]

Absolutely has to be when Dixie scored his hat trick to beat the record of most goals in a season and Everton won the league title by drawing with Arsenal 3-3. I’m getting on a bit now but I wasn’t born then!

Easy: Anfield in the autumn of 84.

I’m assuming that’s the volley?
My dad went to Anfield only once and says he’ll never go back there again as he’s already seen perfection

WBA 1970 championship night.

I know we got beat in this game, but Fiorentina in 08. I had a ticket and forgot it was my anniversary, Mrs put her foot down.

The crowd when Arteta scored is just effing mental!

I had a choice of going to see either a home game V Ipswich or a home game V Chelsea when Bob Latchford was going for his 30 goals. At the time Ipswich were pretty poor so I chose that game, thinking Bob would get a hat trick. As it happened, we won a dull, dreary game 1 - 0 with a Latchford penalty. Of course we beat Chelsea 6 - 0 and Big Bob got his 30th goal.
