And he missed a one-on-one absolute sitter away at Oxford with 10 minutes to go when the score was 0-0. Score that, win the game, and we win the title. We lost 1-0 with a late Oxford goal...

The league is over one season, Sharpy stated that game other players missed sitters .,.

Seemed to have a problem with headers that fellah lol

He scored a great header in a Derby for us in a 3-1 win - fans forget that.......

The Oxford game was at the back end of the season. After that loss, the title was out of our hands...

Claiming Lineker lost us the league is a bit like claiming Van Den Hauwe won us the league, the season after.

Still, you dont lose the title over one game, as crucial as it may be - it's over the rest of the games throughout the season - Sharpy dismissed the myth of GL forgetting his favourite boots etc as other players had many opportunities to score including himself - its an Everton That moment

What strange reasoning you have...

What strange reasoning you have.

It's merely another way of saying the league is won over a season.

Vice versa - maybe we should have kept Andy Gray, & not purchased Gary Lineker etc.......

He only stayed one season, but blame that on the other lot over the park - e.g. Hysel ...... The European ban broke our management plus players up.....

On Wednesday 30th April 1986 we were still in the driving position prior to kick-off.
That night:
Oxford-1 Everton-0
Leicester-0 RS-2

After the above results, we had two games to play, the RS one. The RS only had to then win that last game away at Chelsea (which they did) to secure the title, as we were then behind them to such an extent that even winning the last two games (which we did) we could still not catch them. They are the hard, cold, facts.

So thank you Lineker, sod off to Barca and we'll win the league without you the following season...

I agree, but that seminal miss by Lineker was a defining moment in the chase for the title.

OH FGS one game does not lose the title - GL was a goal machine that season .....

Absolutely, Joey. I remember it all...

For such a goal machine (which I agree for that season) he was crap when one-on-one with the 'keeper. Just look at the Cup Final...
