Nostalgia Nights at Goodison

[bcblue1878]

That night we beat West Bromwich Albion in 1970 to become Champions - the whole of Goodison sang together -

Never witnessed that before what a night for one of the best footballing classy sides with the holy trinity

Second best night ever at Goodison that I’ve been to!

Had many a chat with you hero when he was running the Royal Oak in Flint, really nice fellow.

Main thing about Mick for me was getting the programme every game and generally there would be a photo of our skipper shedding "Royal Blue Blood" in our cause

If we are talking just night matches, the atmosphere at this FA Cup reply was special - thousands locked out that night

I was one of those locked out. Strolled in for free when they opened the gates after 90 minutes, having had a skinfull in the blue house. Great times.

Going the game every week wondering how many we were going to win by.

Eagerly waiting for someone to slot the numbers against the alphabet in front of the lower bullets for the half time scores.

…..bare section with no grass in each goalmouth; The half-time scores down the side of the pitch; the two blokes with arms like Popeye who carried the Stadium advertising board; the programme shop; bobble hat snatchers.

Around 68/70 era (probably longer) one of the fellas was obviously called 'Joe' and the Street End would chant his name as they trudged along with the board, Joe would always smile and give a wave.
Walrus was also the match police Sergeant around that time, still recalled by all the arl fellas who went to the game, tall bloke ex Guardsman I think.

Half past nine is stabbing time, for night games in the 80's .
