Three best football related memories.

Methuselah · May 17, 2018

My three are:

1. Being introduce to Bill Shankly who in turn introduced me to a young Denis Law. Huddersfield Town 1958.

2. Being presented with a bottle of champagne by Bobby Moore for winning a 'guess the score' competition at Wembley.

3. Playing against a Leeds United eleven when Don Revie (Leeds manager) played centre-half marking me as a centre-forward. He talked to me the whole game and gave me invaluable advice on what I should be doing. Shame I didn't have the ability to take advantage!

Probably watching my eldest lad scoring his first ever goal of a Sunday. There has been plenty more since but that first one will always mean the most.

2. Winning the cup in 95.

3.running on the pitch to “celebrate” staying up in 1998

Watching cole, pires and henry in full flow down the left

Mine are weird.

Joe Royle scoring 4 on his Bristol City debut.
1995 Cup win.
Bristol City 3 0 Hereford. (Meant Bristol City got to their first ever Wembley final)

Blame no TV saturation for me missing the golden mid 80s. Have zero recollection, other than the 0 0 in Munich. And being at Wembley against United and that lot. Not good.

First derby - 94/95 season - Ferguson and Ride out. We'd been carp all season up to that under Mike Walker then Joe Royle took charge.

Ireland v Romania - Italia 90 - the raw nervous energy of that extra time and shootout was epic.

Any away trip to watch Ireland - always memorable

Denis Tueart's overhead kick that won the 76 league cup final.

Paul Dickov equaliser in the 99 play off final.

Ageurooooooooooooooo!

Everton related

1.) Everton lifting the Cup in '95
2.) Barry Horne scoring that goal against Wimbledon in '94
3.) Daniel Amokachi coming on to score 2 goals against media darlings Tottenham in the Semi's of cup to win 4-1.

All when I was a kid. When football was a lot more important to me back then.

Massive Edit

Got me hole for the first time after winning a cup final with my local team. It was the first time I'd won at anything and we won some game of togger as well.

All in the space of 12 hours.

WA Toffee · May 18, 2018

1. Being at the Maracana when James Rodrigues scored that goal
2. My first trip to Goodison in January
3. Copying Rooney's goal vs west ham at training the week after he did it

chrismpw · May 18, 2018

Regularly playing footie in a park as a teenager, 3 v 3, jumpers for goalposts, with lads who turned out* to be Jamie Redknapp and his older brother.

Playing 6 a side against Swindon town coaching staff and getting elbowed in the face by Steve McMahon who was manager at the time.

Winning the league and CWC in 85 (or was it 86)

*To be fair, they were called that at the time, but their names weren't significant to me. "Our dad's Bournemouth manager" "yeah right Jamie, crack on"
