Which Everton goal do you think about the most?


It burns me to this day. The only consolation was that the RS lost the final.

Looking at some of the comments, it is a sober reminder of just how many times we have been screwed over by the powers of the game - refs pre and post VAR, UEFA - banned - thanks to the [Phrase removed] from Mordor and the Football League/Premier League.

Whilst we immediatley remember the concerted efforts of Richard Masters and the points deductions, we tend to forget that we were screwed over the Tony Kay incident in 1964 where we not only lost the player due to the ban, but the transfer fee paid for him as well!

The situation was repeated years later with the Nameless Icelandic player who, it should be remembered, wasn't even charged or convicted, yet we weren't given any credit during the PSR tribunals due to the loss of player, loss of wages and loss of any potential transfer fee. Meanwhile there are numerous other players charged with rape or betting offences that played on and in the case of Ivan Toney was eventually only suspended not banned.

Anyway, back on topic, my avatar is Sharps goal against the RS at the pit in 1984. I was there at the Anfield Road end - this edges it above the other goals for me.
Same for me but I was on the hideous kop at the time.
 
Good question.

Osman Vs Larrisa was one, McFadden Vs Charlton, not only because of the quality but because I walked out in disgust when Charlton equalised, Radzinski Vs Southampton.


Couple of goals against us that I find myself remembering Chelsea scored a late equaliser against us 25 years ago when we gave the ball away on our own dead ball line, another gut wrencher was Merson lobbing the keeper from 40 yards with the last kick of the game for Villa.
 

Not the greatest goal, but the one that has always stuck in my mind was Alan Ball v 'them' in 5th round of the cup at Goodison. Just for what it meant to me personally. I wasn't there for it BTW, but just for the bragging rights I had over my mates.
I've watched it numerous times since and still get filled with immense pride
I was there. Great night.
 

Richy from the James assist at Anfield. Just mad we had a player with that kind of vision, weight of pass and nonchalance to play it there of all places.

Randomly, the Deulofeu equaliser against Arsenal pops up in my head now and again. Seemed like we had an exciting, young winger who absolutely terrified knackered FBs.

What might have been, and all that.
