The Cadamarteri derby

[Neiler]

We had a mad array of strikers pumping through from the academy then, Danny, Branch, Jeffers, Jevons. Nick Chadwick and Rooney came a few years later followed by Jimmy Vaughan and Big Vic in the early/mid 00s.

I was in their famous big stand for this one. Everyone minding their own business till the goal went in. Then all of a sudden there were Blues everywhere

Terrible season but yes that was a fantastic 90 minutes.

One 2 one advert was doing the rounds at that time, sure it's on YT somewhere.

....it was at Goodison? Slap bang between our 90s wins at Anfield.

That's a kin disgusting record over 25 years. Surely the worst quarter century home record against them in our entire history.

I was there. The rs were poor at that time and we were up for it. Cadamarteri never lacked confidence, even as a youngster. We weren't a great team by any stretch of the imagination, but they were no great shakes either. Man Utd and Arsenal were very much the dominant forces at the time.

Happy memories of that game though

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Went downhill when he started smacking his missus around in public, who also happened to be a policemans daughter.

One of the rare occasions, when any footy club acted swiftly and immediately got rid.

He had the lot, but needed someone to guide and look after him off the pitch.

He'd gone downhill on the pitch long before that happened.

 

[Baines' left foot]

I find it a bit embarrassing that we look back on occasional derby wins through misty eyed anecdotes.

Anyone remember Jags’ screamer?

 

[Bluerover]

Kvarme was quickly dispossessed and Danny was away, only Ruddock chased back to give any cover but the lad second guessed him with a jink and a shot. Magic. Magic. Magic.

Those were the words written by Guy McEvoy 25 years ago today, as Everton thumped a very poor Liverpool team in their best performance of an otherwise abysmal 1997/98 campaign.

Since that day, we have seen just three home league derby victories. Three.... in a quarter of a century.

Was anyone there?

I was!!
