On Easter Saturday long ago....

[Woolly Blue]

Think I've found the jinx.

A sacrifice is required, once he's sold all his mugs we'll burn him at the stake.

 

[Home and Dry]

I remember going in a van with "the lads" to villa, but we went down the "a" roads rather than the m6 and stopped off in some boss boozers. We enjoyed them so much (and the result) we went home the same way!!

Remember it well. Evertonians in three sides of the ground and a boiling hot day. Good days indeed

Great day I was at the side of pitch, didn't andy gray play for villa that day.

I was there too - think crowd was 31000, at least 15-16000 blues there. Superb! To think just two and a half years later they mullered us 6-2. An unbelievable turnaround for that great team. Was there for that one too.

I went the 6-2 game platt got 3 or 4, my mate couldn't go watched it having Sunday dinner, when the sixth went in he threw his at the telly
The Sunday after his mam did an extra plate, when he asked who it's for his mam said "the effin telly"

...1987 to be exact.

I was packed into the Witton Lane end of Villa Park as a Kevin Sheedy goal gave us the victory which all but settled the title race in our favour

13,000 of us there that day apparently. Heady days indeed.

 

[BLUES1]

That was a long time ago eh.

I wasn't even born.

Wow that hurt, Bad enough we’ve won nothing in over 30 years, but now you have to make me feel like crap over my age….thanks. The only solace I will have is in 30 years from now someone will post: “wow you remember when Everton didn’t win something every year. You are old.”

I wont be around to see it but what comes around..

 

[jaycee]

And what a goal it was

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Great days.

I was at Goodison on Easter Saturday 1978 to see us beat Leeds 2-0 Latchford and McKenzie with a superb second.

We played 3 games in 4 days over Easter that year and won them all. 2-0 v Newcastle at St James's park on Good Friday. The aforementioned Leeds game on the Saturday. Then a 2-1 win at OT on Easter Monday.
