Old Everton Pictures

[Joey66]

I was there for the Sheffield Wed cup final and my Dad went to the World Cup final as well

My dad who went to every cup game round gave his rare 1996 FA Cup final ticket to my then 15 year old brother - he travelled down the night before top stay with our relations in London who had got the rare ticket for my late father - they were all split up in the ground - My brother was in the Sheffield Wednesday end.....Imagine standing there with them 2-0 down..... then having to not go over board when we came back with 3 goals...

So was I. I bought tbe full Goodison WC package, including the semi final, and we all know how,that turned out. England played their semi at wembley. Grrr.

There was a protest at Goodison over that by the German fans ......

A piece in the Everton programme in December 1978, about the youth team led by Kevin Ratcliffe. I wonder whether anyone [Kevin?] can shed any light on what happened to the boys who didn't make it to the first team?

Many people talk about turning points in this season. This is Gillingham at home in the cup. Everybody refers to Cascarino's miss in the replay, but here's Alan Harper heading off the line. Never gets a mention. -

...a little bit after my youth team time, Joey, although remember the obvious ones such as Paul Lodge who I think somebody posted a picture of in the last week or so.

interesting the references to Liverpool Schoolboys. That was a pre-Academy era when even if you’d signed for a top flight club, playing for Liverpool Schoolboys took precedent for the U15 season.

And so did all of us in the scoreboard end who had a perfect view of Young being upended by Springett.

Caption says (Derek) Kevan was the victim of a rowdy demonstration by a section of the Goodison crowd - a demonstration which did the reputation of the club and fair-minded spectators no good at all. Before your time maybe? @Eggs & Co?

....I remember going to Listowel not too long ago. It was a trek from Dublin (or Cork) airport so the driver stopped at a little place called Newmarket. It was about 10am and we wanted a pint, so he sent us to the butchers. We walked through the shop, behind the counter and into a lovely little bar. Stayed for a few hours.

Only in Ireland. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tommy Eglington had a little boozer in the back of his butcher shop.

...referee Jack Taylor who I think went on to award a penalty in the 1st minute of a World Cup Final.

VAR would have decided it was not clear and obvious.

I know Phil Barton was highly rated in the Southport craven minor league,he was a couple of years ahead of me so I never played against him,but I know there were high expectations for him,alas unfulfilled,dont know what happened for him after Everton though unfortunately joey.
