August 1997.

First Game of the season.

Lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace and Atllio Lombardo ran rings round us. Didn’t get much better. Still hasn’t. Never will.
 
Sep 6 1986,I was 6 years old sat on the barrier in the lower gwladys with my twin and uncle who took us and was treated to a 0-0 v QPR..my only memory is Kevin Langley hitting the post ha ...least we won the league that season
 
Everton 0-0 Arsenal, 21st April 1973. Not a great game played in rain and hail. But the impression a smoke filled Goodison gave me, hooked me forever, it looked absolutely huge, even to an 11 year old.

Mine was a 0 0 Arsenal one, in rain and hail, so could have been the same one. Dont remember anything about the match, cos every time anything happened, everyone stood up. Pretty sure we were on seats behind a goal, and it seemed to be miles up.

But as I struggle to remember to buy a light bulb these days, that ^^^^^ could be eye wash. Could I have been in a seat behind a goal in 1973?
 
Everton 2 - 2 Leicester 3 Jan 2000, Hutchison and Unsworth pen, Matt Elliott got 2 for them when he was playing up front and we couldn't handle him, god we were poor then!

Remember being gutted because Barmby went off early injured the little rat.
 
Bolton away late 70's at Burnden Park. (Boxing day)

It was snowing badly and the game was abandoned at half time

Worthington and Latchford both scored. 1-1 when match abandoned.
