What's your very earliest Everton related memory?

[The Binman]

Watching Bradford city vs Grimsby in around 85? Mick lions was their player manager at the time.. he stood out then...

Tho at the time I didn't know much about him

My first match was against Chelsea 68/69 season on a Saturday 7.30pm kick off . Park End stand with my older brother. The week after getting knocked out of the FA Cup semis against Citeh. I was in my element, a kid that collected football cards and knew of almost every player in the 1st Division. We got beat 2-1 with Big Joe scoring a pen for us and Birchenall getting the Chelsea winner. No matter who we played in the 60's and 70's all 1st Division clubs had players that were household names. Priviledged to see great players like Banks, Charlton, Best, Law, Osgood, Chivers, Eastham, Moore.......like I said each and every club had top players like Stoke, Southampton, Leicester etc

I've watched the highlights of that match i don't know how many times and I'm still not sure how we didn't win that game and ended up getting beat 3-1.

I've got a copy of the whole game - I switch it off straight after the Grobbelaar- Beglin fracas

1984 cup final is the reason I’m a blue but I don’t remember watching it on TV. I’m told I chattered about Everton since then. I remember the 1986 final vaguely but only the disappointment rather than the game itself.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

1986 cup final, bossed the first half and should of put the game to bed and then we fell apart second half inexplicably

Boys pen 1948, wearing my newly knitted Everton hat never seen it again. Shudder.

Nobby Fielding didn’t sign me an autograph after a game in 1949 and I’ve had a hate-fueled grudge ever since.

Oh wait that was Dave’s first memory of Everton.

I was walking up Goodison Rd on the way to the boys pen and Wally Fielding and Bobby Collins were coming the other way. I was about 13 and said something a hero worshipping kid would say to Bobby. Wally, in his cockney accent just said 'f... off'. Bobby look a bit embarrassed and looked at me
with a sheepish grin on his face.

95 FA Cup final

 

[TrachyBlue]

First game was 1977 FA cup - Swindon, I think. I was 8. Dad wasn't into footy at all, but I somehow persuaded him to take me.

 

[Preki]

84 cup final. I'm 6 years old. My dad is RS. We go to basketball training in the morning but I know the cup final is in the afternoon and I want Everton to win. I must have decided earlier but that's the first time I fell expectation/ nervousness.
