I was only born in the 90's but a few stand out for me:

Arteta v Fiorentina
The Hibbo Riot?!
Fellaini Pirouette against Bellamy
Big Dunc's last ever game/ goal against West Brom
4-2 defeat against United for a different reason though (minutes applause for Alan Ball)

There's a few more but said enough haha

Without doubt the greatest night of my life as an Evertonian was 85 v Bayern. Big Bob was my schoolday Hero, absolutely worshipped him and Duncan McKenzie.

Also singing "Abide with Me" with my Dad at the 84 Final v Watford, just lost my dear Nan and me and Dad had tears in our eyes throughout!

Just watched Bayern again on Youtube - raises the hairs on your neck even after all this time. Pity that the uninformed might think we were a 1980s Stoke with the long throw in bombs for the first 2 goals. That was not the way we played.
 
Most memorable Goodison football moment of recent years is either:

Rooney's stunner vs Arsenal - what gets forgotten about that game is just how well we played as a team; we'd done more than enough to win it, but looked like we'd only get a draw...until, out of nowhere, one of the greatest goals of all time flies in at the Park End - and the roof came off Goodison; celebrations then amplified at full time when it was announced that the ****e had lost

or

Fiorentina at home (gutting result, but my God, what an atmosphere. Shivering at the recollection just thinking about it. One of the rare cases where, despite being beaten, when I watched the recording of the game, I still revelled in the performance. We really were that good. Honourable mention to the TV commentary as well, for Arteta's goal - "Arteta HIMSELF! What a moment! What a goal! Goodison Park! Shaken to its 100 year old foundations!"

Most memorable Goodison non-football moment was the Chelsea home game just after John Terry's alleged dalliance with Wayne Bridge's missus; Terry, already having a torrid time off the pitch, proceeds to spend the first half getting torn to shreds by Louis Saha...and what does he go into the tunnel at half-time hearing, booming out of the tannoy? "Tonight at Goodison we're launching a new campaign to halt the growing number of cases of Chlamydia; the campaign is called 'Love is Infectious'". Absolute, galloping, ****ing genius timing.
 
Alan Ball scoring twice against the rs,soon after we signed him.
We had played the rs in the charity shield a few weeks before BALLY signed and they won 1-0
but it could have been 3 or 4,
Does anyone remember him picking a little kid up who had run on to the pitch and putting him back into the crowd
before the coppers could throw him out.
Or putting his foot on the ball and pretending to tie his lace,this when the game was going on!
Or him pretending to sit on the ball,again,when the game was in full flow,my hero till i die.

1967: What's Our Name???

Goodison under lights. Full house. Beating the neighbours. I was 12. What a moment.
 
Bayern for obvious reasons, but the best league game I have enjoyed for atmosphere was the night Dunc scored and we beat Manyoo 1-0 under the lights of a very hostile GP.
 
For me the following are only three of my stand out Goodison memories:

v. Fulham 1963. 4-1 to clinch the First Division title. I was only 15 at the time. We are the Champions!
v. RS 1967. 1-0 in the cup-tie also shown on screens over at Analfield. Alan Ball scoring the winner. What an occasion!
v. Bayern Munich 1985. 3-1 to reach the CWC Final. Will there ever be a night to match that for atmosphere?

Never forget watching the Gwladys going mental from the main stand wishing i was in there.
 
I can't remember who the game was against but in the mid 1990s David Unsworth kicked the ball clean out of the stadium over Bullens Road whilst making a clearance. God love Rhino!!!
 
The 1969 midweek home game as a youngster v WBA to clinch the title won 2-0 - the whole ground sung that night, the best EFC team brand of football I have ever seen that season the holy trinity - I just wonder what Alan Ball would cost these days the best box to box midfielder you could ever have, and a complete joy to see him in such a magnificent creative team - what Felli did the other night v man U bally did it nearly every game for the blues.
