Georgie Wood telling people behind his goal to eff off and making everyone laugh

Latchford pen v Chelsea for the 30 goals and the pitch invasion

Andy King whopper of a goal v the RS.

Wimbledon phew!

The QPR game when we became champs

Andrei Kanchelskis .... All of it. Andrei is a Scouser tra la la la

Booing

Beating the RS

Beating Wimbledon 8-0 in league cup

So many laughs and great moments

So many memories. So many ups and downs. I would not change a thing.

I will miss Goodison. I am getting on a bit now so it is bitter sweet for me moving grounds. But I understand that we need to do it, and the kids are gonna love the new gaff.

Blessed to be a Blue!

UTFT Forever!
That Wimbledon one Big Bob bagging five and a Dobbo hattrick.
 

all the last minute winners

or when the opposition were trying to
equalize and we killed the game off

that’s goodison
I suppose Goodison in it's latter days has resembled the club playing in it. A faded institution out of touch with the modern era.

It will be sad to go but leaving for Bramley Moore can be the start of an exciting new era for this club.

We've won a league title when playing at Anfield, we've won eight league titles, five FA Cups and a European trophy playing at Goodison.

Hopefully the new trophy cabinet at Bramley Moore will see plenty of silverware put into it in time as well.

It's hard to believe we just have two games left at Goodison now. The end really is nigh.
 
All my memories of Goodison are great. Even the crap performances and defeats (of which there have been far far more than there has wins).

I've always appreciated every game, never took it for granted, loved the highs, took the lows on the chin, got to take my son to some games, got to watch a mate coach an opposition side against us, hugged complete strangers, probably strangled a few as well lol.

The size, the scale, the colour, the sounds, loved it all, from the old little click of the turnstile so you know your in, to the over cooked rip off sausage roll and crappy bev.

I've sat in every stand, seen a win from every stand, booed in every stand, watched in all weather, worn every single bloody Everton top you can imagine, went through fashion phases, girlfriends, tough times and great time.

I love it. I genuinely love it. I always have loved it, from my very first game to my last. There's so many quirks and boss pieces of architecture, history, uniqueness around every turn that it's just not a place that has ever bored me.

I'll miss the walk to the ground, the walk away from the ground where I always turn back and have a sly look again (especially night matches).

I've said a lot but probably not half as much as I should or probably failing to do it justice.

I think everyone who has been there, just knows.
 
I remember a load of fans walking very slowly in front of and (playfully) goading a lady in a red car with a liverpool sticker on it who was inexplicably driving round by the stadium about an hour before kick off (wasn't a derby) with her two young kids in the car. She looked up at two policemen on horses desperate for them to do something and just saw them absolutely pissing themselves sat in their saddles.
 

As a teenager who had never been to Liverpool…..an R/S mate was over there. Asked him to go to club shop to,get me a flag…. Absolute clown rocked up in a red jersey.

Got me the flag n all,and took some serious tip. To this day he can’t explain wearing the jersey
 
Having not been that much lately (last visit was 5 or 6 years ago I think) my memories are older. Standing on my wooden seat jumping up and down after the Andy King derby, and turning round to my dad in disbelief after we equalised for the 4th time in the game against the rs to name but two in the 20+ years I went to nearly all the games. To be honest I'm not a sentimental person and the last few times I'd been I didn't enjoy the experience because the ground is long past it's best. Looking forward to visiting the new stadium and I hope you all give the old girl a good send off, I know you will.
 
Ipswich 0-0 draw in the early 60s Mémorable because it was so cold. I was sitting on a crash barrier on the old Goodison Rd terrace and managed to duck one of the hundreds of cushions thrown from the stand at full time. Those days a point at home was unacceptable.
 

The night game against Man Utd in 2005 when Big Dunc scored the winner holds a special place in my heart. It was the last game my Grandad ever attended. He hadn't been to many games that season due to being in and out of hospital and he ended up passing away just over a month after this, but for whatever reason he got a little second wind around this time and was absolutely adamant about going. I'll be forever greatful for that day. It was like he'd gone back in time and was the way he'd been when I was a kid. The memory of us going mental together and the strength he had when he bearhugged me for the goal and at full time, along with the afterglow of how happy he still was the next day will always make me smile and feel emotional.
 
A guy sold a ticket to me for £75 outside Goodison in the early 2000s and I had to sit with the RS and they won. This was the first time I went to Goodison.
