Who was captain when you went to your first match?

[Bruce Wayne]

Kevin Ratcliffe in the 1987 charity shield.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Around 1956. Don't know.

 

[Ivo]

Kevin Ratcliffe for me, however it was a one off game when I was very young so don't really remember much. Dave Watson was captain when I started going on a regular basis.

Dave Watson.

Everton 1-2 Crystal Palace. August 1997.

torn apart by Atillio Lombardo and the veteran Bruce Dyer (who was actually 22!).

 

[Methuselah]

Get no arguments from me with that one, a very good player and a gentleman as well, wrote his own column in the Echo didn’t need any help from their reporters like most players did, Billy Liddell was another like Peter in every respect.

If there was one Liverpool player who I wish had played for Everton, it was Billy Liddell. What a good footballer he was and, as you say, a gentleman.

 

[mikey 62]

A little known undistinguished player named Alan Ball

 

[Cool_Blue]

I think it was Richard Boyle, but I can't remember if it was his 1st go or his 2nd



Or it might be been TE Jones.

TE for my dad, BL for me

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

I cant remember, I t was the late 60s .
Living in Walton going to the games wasn't a day out as such.
Earliest games I can nail on would be Brian Labone testimonial or a 1_1 Tuesday night 1st home game v Leicester 1970 something.
I can remember playing on the building site that was the main stand rebuild.

 

[scullhed]

Burnley away(3-1 loss) in march 74. So I think it's Roger Kenyon, although Mike Lyons was playing too, upfront.

 

[Crestfallen]

It was 1976. So I presume it was Mick Lyons.

 

[duncs pigeon]

I was there we were 2-0 up..... they looked a tired team world cup Mexico etc....

Was only 11yrs old so really don’t remember much about the game tbh. Just remember being in the Bullens Rd paddock being in awe of going there for the first time.

I was in the Gladwys street with my mate we were champions. .... Arsenal went onto complete the double that season while we fell apart -sob .....

Kevin Ratcliffe. Everton had come to Toronto after the 1985 title win (and shortly after Heysel but before the fallout) to play an exhibition match. Roy Vernon was the captain, though, when I became an Evertonian. After all, we're born, not manufactured.

 

[ElGato]

Alan Stubbs.

I once had a drama exam in school where we had to deliver our own 20 minute lesson to a group of year 7s. I did mine on Alan Stubbs and why he personified the unsung hero of English football. Think I got a U and had to come back and have another go.

Teacher must have been a red

 

[Toffeelover]

Yes it was well disputed, but it was offside, Imwas in Gwladys St. that night, half way up on the wall that separated the terrace from front to back.

I was in the middle with a barrier behind me right behind the middles of the goal.
