So all transfers aside just wondering is anyone on here going to goodison this sunday I tried to get a ticket for weeks sadly had no joy so I have invited me family round for bbq and to watch it Sunday but just any memories of a game that anyone has been to at goodison that they have witnessed and also what's you're thoughts on being at 12 pm me kick me personally would of liked it to be 4.30 pm kick off but my personal favourite match was 1996 when we beat Southampton 7.1 gary speed with the hatrick and also met and sat next to john parrot which was mu highlight and was only 7 at the time UPTF.

One of the standout memories for me didn’t even include an Everton goal. We were playing Coventry and they had a free kick on the edge of our box. Next thing the ball was in the net. We all stood looking at each other because we had never seen a free kick like that before.
Had to watch it again on Match of the day ( no replays back then) , to see what actually happened.
Other one was Big Bob Latchford scoring against Chelsea, when we battered them 6-0, no Abramovich then.
Bob needed one more goal to make it 30 for the season, and we got a very dubious penalty to give him the chance. You could feel the tension in the air, or it might have been the fact that half of Gwladys street had moved forward in anticipation. Anyway Bob stroked it home, ran to the crowd and we all went berserk.

Yeah, I'll be going. 12 kick off isn't ideal but at least it gives plenty of time afterwards to enjoy the atmosphere and a few beers.
I remember that Southampton games, it was one of my first games at Goodison.
The 4-0 win over City under Koeman is one that I remember fondly, a great day!

The donkey kick. It involved Willie Carr if I remember rightly! Brilliant idea but banned after that ?.

First game was Arsenal in August ‘91. Won 3-1. Just remember coming out to the main stand (top balcony) and thinking “wow! ”. That has stuck with me forever.
Can’t remember the game but remember that sight.
‘94 derby with Ferguson scoring.
Wimbledon ‘94 Barry Horne’s screamer.
‘97 Derby with Cademateri break from half way.
Coventry ‘98 Farrelly screamer.
Sunderland ‘99 when we won 5-0 with the crowd chanting “Peter Reid’s and Evertonian”.
There’s so many memories. Great place to watch football.

Managed to get tickets at the beginning of the season before prices went too mad. Taking my boy, our favourite shared memory is Michael Keane arrowing one in against Spurs in the last minute, last season. Rooney’s goal in 2003 also a standout.
