[Bullens Rd]

Zooms right in on my brother in his top and Everton hat at the end, with my dad just behind him in his Jack Duckworth glasses. Superb memories, kinda. lol Not one that we want to ever go through again though, no thanks.

Was in the Upper Gwladys, just turned 10 years old. I remember how packed it was outside, and the queues were huge, so it was obvious many would be left out. So you had people in the trees in Stanley Park. I can remember being upset at 2-0 down, and some feller grabbed me and said don't worry lad, we'll still win this. His belief held true, but there certainly was real doubt at that point!

People like Graham Stuart and Limpar should be considered Everton legends in their own right. Neither set the world on fire, but their contributions to surviving relegation in 1994 and winning the cup in 1995 are immeasurable.

The same could be said for Ablett, Watson and Southall etc, but if you watch that 1994 game once again you will see Graham Stuart making a goal line clearance immediately before Horne scored and changed the tide of the game. Obviously he had already scored one goal and went on to score the winner as well. That's some contribution and I noticed that he ran off with the match ball in his hand, well deserved.

Limpar and that handball was ridiculous, but he got that absolutely necessary penalty to keep us in the match, and then provided the similar energy and endeavor that saw both Limpar and Stuart excel in the 1995 semi-final and Cup Final. Both made huge contributions in the cup win a year later. I guess Stuart technically got the assist for Rideout's goal, but Limpar properly made that goal with breaking and running against United's defence.

Really appreciate the sharing of this video. Had seen highlights but not the full match so watched it tonight rather than the Super Bowl.

Little Tony Cottee taking whacks at Sack Squeezer Jones was a particular highlight.

Pay on the gate if I remember

Yeah it was, different times back then. We were only getting anywhere from 13 to 25k a game so you could basically rock up whenever you wanted and take your pick of seats for every game bar Liverpool and United.

The Wimbledon game was what triggered me to get a season ticket as I was fuming that I went to every home game that season only to miss out on the final day.

I was playing in a Basketball tournament. Had to nip out and turn on the radio every time we had a break. Horrendous.

 

[Toffeelover]

had to keep changing my undies.

We were such a poor team. The chances of coming from 0-2 really wasn’t good.

Back then if you were relegated to 2nd Div, it was not easy getting back to 1st div.

BTW Robbie Earle was a decent player.

Thought because it was nailed on we'd lose,so turned up at the Gwladys St thinking it would be empty,as the turnstiles closed rushed around to Goodison Rd and ashamed to say elbowed a couple of blokes out of the way to get my son and I into the top balcony. At two down just looked at him and said "well that's us driving to Port Vale next season"
When our first went in it all went crazy,very Bayern if not louder. Still have 40 point PTSD to this day.

We had to wait another two seasons to get beat by Port Vale... I probably only stayed after 0-2 because I couldn't get down off the tree without making an idiot of myself. I still don't know how I managed to get up there, I was hardly a climber back then. Needs must I suppose.
