Your greatest 'moment' at Goodison


I’ve got so many moments and a lot of them have been mentioned in this thread already, but one that stands out isn’t even my moment.
The Chelsea cup game a few years ago where Lukaku turned Gary Cahill inside out before slotting the second goal - just remember my lad who was about 4, with his first experience of Everton limbs, telling me on the way out “Dad, that was amazing!”
You just know at that moment that the bug has well and truly taken effect and you just hope that the club is going to give him and all the youngsters like him, their trophy moment someday soon.
 
@kev @Joey66 ... don't want to be a Grinch guys but Shef Wed was the away game (won 1 - 0) three days after the title was won & the trophy presented to Bally (as captain) Labone being injured. Shef Wed at home was the previous August.
🙂I'm talking about Chelsea at Goodison March 1970
I think Joey means West Brom.
 
Anyone mention the day in 1971 when the scoreboard broke down because it couldn’t cope with the fact we had just scored goal number 8 v Saints 😂

At the Derby one time there was a kopite sitting in front of myself and a friend of mine. By the accent, he was obviously from nowhere near Liverpool. We were quite young at the time, and had been furnish with some sweets to have during the game by one of our mothers. That kopite went home with about 42 half chewed Opal Fruits in the hood of his coat. I always wonder what happened when he got home. Ah memories.

We won the title v WBA - they just would not send the trophy there - the away game at WED we were already champions ....
 

If you could relive one moment from your years at Goodison Park what would it be?

Not a full game just a moment that will live with you forever because of the feeling you got from it.

It might be your first walk up the steps to see the lush green grass for the first time or a certain goal, a crunching tackle, anything.
Seamus Coleman doing keepy ups against arsenal winning 3-0 under Roberto Martinez. Felt like we had momentum and a genuine team.

Michael Keane's left footed volley that started the comeback against Palace. You could just feel something intangible inside the ground flick like a switch
 
Yeah it’s not a specific memory like some have said it’s a feeling I get on a summers day, Z Cars playing and the roar of the crowd as the team come out the tunnel. Just can’t beat them little moments where the hairs on the back of your neck stand up!
The sun is a good point.

Going the match in shorts on a Saturday 3 o'clock with bevvies before and after the game is good.
 
That first walk up the steps when you see the pitch for the first time as a child.
I still recall the grass looked so green, it seemed to be greener than grass in Stanley park or our garden, the white lines straight and bright.
The grass cut immaculately, like someone had lay and cut the whole pitch will scissors.

As it happens I got a really nice, similar feeling, but maybe not on the same scale, when I saw Bramley Moore for the first time too.
