Your greatest 'moment' at Goodison

My only visit there for a game was against Boro on 30 September 2007 with my dad on what turned out to be his final trip back to Merseyside.
We were in the Park End, about four rows from the pitch right behind the goal. Start of the second half I start yelling at Mark Schwarzer, in my best Aussie accent, "Hey, Schwarzer, what do they call a sieve in Australia?" Did that a few times and he started getting ticked off and glared at me. Steven Pienaar scored in the 58th minute to make it 2-0 and after the cheering subsided, I yelled, "Schwarzer, you're Australian for sieve!"
He went purple, my dad just shook his head and some older guy behind me said simply, "Is right."

Just that last step for me when you reach the top of the stairs and see the ground appear in front of you. Still gives me goosebumps more than 50yrs after I first climbed those stairs as a 3yr old.

Just magical

Yes running up those boys pen steps and seeing that wonderful stadium on 13-03-1948 was just amazing and the thrill of seeing it wasn’t diminished by losing 2-0 to Arsenal or following a poor team for the next few years because Everton was my team and I haven’t missed many home games since that day along with plenty of away games and the view of the last game at The Dear Old Lady was the same as that first one long ago— again with a very poor team although we have plenty to look forward to I believe in the coming years and the memory of Goodison Park is a very precious one.
 
Greatest in terms of sheer jubilation on the pitch has to be the Palace game and I am sure I don't need to elaborate one iota on why that is my choice.
With sixty two years matchgoing experiences to choose from though it was a tough decision on my part.
I'm of the opinion that if I could have found the money to come to the Bayern game that would have come out on top, and to this day that remains my biggest regret.
 
nearly 4 days later and I’m still buzzing over that on Sunday , I’m usually a moaning [Poor language removed] over Everton but Sunday revitalised me some of them Ariel pics especially that one on the front of the mirror unbelievable, , hope we get are [Poor language removed] together now the scenes would be unreal

I've often wondered, were those steps you talk about the exit between the street end and bullens?

It has it's own turnstiles and exit, plus separate toilets and a small programme counter.

I've heard stories of the boys pen but it was much much before my time

When I went the boys pen was underneath The Upper BullensRoad Stand right in the corner next to Gwladys Street and stayed like that until at least 1953when I was 12 and I started going into Gwladys Street itself, I remember the toilets not sure about the programme counter—-I don’t think I ever had enough to buy a programme!
 
Very emotional watching all that on Sunday - I still maintain Goodison died a we bit when they put seats in - as the Stadia was never designed for them - the old days of the terraces were just fantastic IMO.....
 
Bayern Munich semi final and seeing us lift the league trophy twice. We've had a lot of good times at the old lady. Hopefully we'll create some more great memories at the new place in time.
 

I can’t remember the exact game, but I’ve got memories of seeing my dad’s face when we scored smiling, jumping up, looking at me. Great moment.

Also, the Wimbledon game I was like 16 years old me and my mates got in without tickets right behind the goal of the Gwladys Street. It was epic, I feel so lucky to gone to that game.
