I was ,we played Northampton a couple of weeks before and we went to Bedford and got our tickets for the cup match .......
Back to Northampton watched the game and jumped the Sunniways back to town.
Hitched hiked to Bedford first..
Jumped a bus to Northampton...
1-1 i think they had a cricket pitch /ground attached ...

I know there was one of the big gas tanks ( can't remember correct name, Gasometre ?)
And there were Evertonians up ther,getting a better view,what was also funny to see was Evertonians behind our goal,talking to the players,it was the nearest some had ever been to their idols.

Spoke to Westy years ago when he was in hospital,apparently he injured his thigh I think in the third round,so he had to throw the ball out instead of kicking,it really restricted him,and got worse round by round, he was brassed off as he reckoned if he'd been fully fit he'd have got his winners medal without conceding a goal in the competition,what a character

Sure was mate and always had time for the fans,could say the same of BALLY.

Well nobody is going to call him over his injury and 2 goals conceded at Wembley. He was then the best keeper we had ever had and at 27,000 pound by HC from Blackpool ( we do well out of the good club Blackpool) what a snip .
Of course Big Nev came along he had some work to do to beat Westie and he did ..Who is going to beat either of them 2 now ...
Certainly not..Howard.i,ll keep the circus comments to myself .!

Last one Norwich again

 

[Toffeelover]

Okay.

the second was Police trying to stop Everton fans getting on the pitch at Highbury, 14th June 1984 in the cup semi agin the Saints per the report.

the last one was 4th May 1987 agin Norwich after the 1-0 win to clinch the League per report.

We left Norwich in a mini bus and heading home we got as far as Market Harborough, think the pub was called the White Horse ..not that it matters... we spent the whole of the night till the early hours in there celebating.
The Host and Hostess were brilliant to us and the night was endless , the locals in the end (cos we made them) were singing with us Everton Everton Everton as one does ........
