your favourite Everton match

This one for me:

Had it all on the night, never-say-die 4 times! Sharp & Cottee doubles. And beyond: their successful manager quit due to the stress afterwards, signalling an end to their previous dominance...a dominance which hasn't returned in the 25 years since. We won the replay, but unfortunately not the cup, tho' we did bag it 4 years later. The 4-4 was also only four years after our last league title...seems mad we haven't got ourselves a tenth yet, but money rules in the Prem-era.

As a young lad went absolutely nuts watching this on the telly...with Cottee's final equaliser jumping between sofas wanting to put a hole in the ceiling out of utter euphoria!

Must've been so amazing being there at Goodison...

Bayern Munich at home. As Sineead O'Connor sang"Nothing compares to you"

1995 cup final, to young to appreciate the 87 season. Didn't think it would be so long since our last trophy. Thanks Bill

EPIC! Followed this with pen & paper on BBC text-updates thing. All the permutations had us down except us winning...ffs they didn't half keep us sweating!

This match is a massive blur in my memory apart from the goal...looking back I don't think I appreciated properly as I was expecting us to go on to win loads of stuff after that.

Yeah that was superb, three sides of the ground, huge underdogs, and we absolutely battered them.

Beating Man U at Old Trafford last season was awesome.

The 2-1 against Spurs with the Jelavic high fives also sticks in recent memory!

One of my favourites was Villa away, 2005. 3-1, my first away game- we played the best football I'd seen us play in years. Great atmosphere too.

Mine to Doc.

For whatever reason that game resonates more about Everton than any other I can think of.

Despair to Relief..to Despair to Relief..to Despair to joy.. to Despair to delirium.

Great game.

The Equaliser · June 21, 2015

It would have to be one that I actually attended and the opposition were blown to smithereens.

So for that reason the 7-1 v Sunderland in 2007 it is.

Chelsea 6 nil Latchfords 30th, still just a kid but starting to really enjoy going the match , it had everything to keep a young kid amused, goals, pitch invasions, and murder in the old Park End.

God...I love Bob Latchford.

Darth Toffeeman · June 21, 2015

The whole cup run in 95 was amazing.
My personal favourite was the 5-0 v Norwich. A real commanding display and the first time in years that we just wiped the floor with a useful outfit. I also pulled a pretty girl on my way home from that match too.
