Oh my has he just done that?

[MrD]

Have there been many opposition players who have played so well at Goodison that they've got a standing ovation?

He did something equally boss against Portsmouth i think.

I used to have that whole game saved.

David Pleat wouldn't shut up about him.

We properly "Everton'd" that transfer.

Ultimate Kenwright patter era.

Kevin Sheedy's two for the price of one free kicks against Ipswich in 1985!

Sheedy free kick taken twice and slotted both times.

It was just the way he shrugged his shoulders after the first one, as if to say "okay, I`ll put it in the other corner then" lol

Not so much individual players, but Goodison acknowledged in a big way, Bobby Robson''s Ipswich team in 1980 when they wiped the floor with us 4-0

Duncan mckenzie

I’ve seen a few players over the last 50/60 years, Ball, Young and co from our club, Best and mercurial players from elsewhere etc, but Duncan was without doubt the most naturally gifted and talented player I’ve ever seen, he could literally do anything with a ball, and he always smiled while doing it. We only had him a couple of years, same as everyone I suppose, but he was an absolute joy to watch, we didn’t win anything of course, but then again we’re not winning anything now.........

Didn't he say to the interviewer when asked. " I don't practice it, I just do it". Hahaha.

Perhaps.

Trouble understanding the Scottish accent at times

Remember it well. Even the Ipswich players commented on it. They deserved it and they had a great team then.

Fellani's piruett making an arse of Bellamy.

Duncan McKenzie scoring a great goal against us after he'd been transferred to Chelsea.

I was at that game and cheered it in along with everyone else,never have I heard an opposition goal receive such a loud ovation.

I agree he was indeed magic. Gordon Lee didn't fancy him so the writing was on the wall when Lee came. Standing ovation when he returned a Chelsea player and scored the opening goal (I think) similar situation when Joe Royle scored at Goodison for Norwich when they beat us 2-0 (once again I think).

I 'think' it was against Arsenal -
Alan Ball ran to take a quick throw in on line with their penalty box. He then relaxed his body as if exasperated that no Everton player was in position to receive the throw. As he did this an Arsenal player 10 ft from him turned his back to organise the defence. Quick as a flash Bally threw the ball and controlled the rebound from the players back to set up an attack.

I got booked in a Sunday league kids game for replicating that.

Tricky, 3rd goal against Bayern, the atmosphere that evening.

Best night ever, didn’t want to leave the ground.
