Still
brings a tear to my eye, overjoyed at the fact I was going to
be at the greatest game of my young life. I was full of optimism
and as the sun shone on the hallowed Wembley turf, all was well.
It was the biggest event I'd ever been to and was completely overwhelmed
by the sea of blue and white and to be honest the red half looked
pretty impressive too.
It
was just awesome. As for the game, well we all know what happened
there. I was gutted from the 12th minute, overjoyed at the 89th,
then gutted again,
then on air and ultimately distraught at the very end. It still
ranks as one of the best days of my life purely for the spectacle
that it was. Football as it should be played with two sets of
fans in a sea of pride.
Loving the blues!

Cahill, Beattie, McFadden
Subs:
Davies (Osman), Ferguson (Beattie),
Turner, Weir, Naysmith
My
first game was against Charlton this season, but it wasn't great
was it? My first game HAD to be a 0-0 draw, even though we hadn't
had one in what? 50 odd games?
Nothing
much happened and probabaly my biggest thrill was seeing some
tall
people sitting in front of me wearing the "www.bluekipper.com"
shirts.
Being an avid toffee fan since I was 6 years old
my first game came 8 years
after that. Also living down in Brighton doesn't really help either.
The
main highlight of the game was Biffa's half volley from about
25 yards,
touched over by my first ever Everton hero, Thomas Myhre. Also
I had a bit
of a laugh with "Dickies" cock-up. But not much else,
next game I go to I
wish I could celebrate a goal and I hope its at Goodison.
Please put this on your site. Thanks
a bunch for your great website,

Scorers:

My
first match was against Wolves in the late 50s or early 60s. We
won 3-1. I was born in 1952. My brother and I were then regulars
in the boys pen. We used to be able to see the Goodison floodlights
from our bedroom window. That can't beat my grandfather's first
match, he remembered being carried on his dad's shoulders at the
1906 cup final when he was 3. He reckoned that was the first time
“e aye adio” was sung. “E aye adio Sandy scored a goal”. Sandy
Young I think he said.

Well
the first one I can properly remember anyway.
Not sure of the year - some time early 70's -
but I do know that Mick Lyons
was captain, and it was an evening mid-week kick off. And it was
cold. We went as a family - amazing to think we used to do that
as was the time that "bovver boys" were starting to
make news, and I do remember a nasty feeling that trouble might
be around all through the evening.
I had started supporting the blues in 1969, as
my Dad was a supporter. We
lived in Leicestershire. I'm pretty sure I went to see them at
both Leicester City and Coventry before this particular match...
I think Filbert Street was probably my first game - but can only
remember Rodney Fern's haircut (think Max Wall) (Which reminds
me of a game I used to play trying to pick a team of baldie players
(not just blues) - at the time you had Andy Lockhead, Mancini,
Coates, etc etc. anyway..)
Two things stick in my mind. The first was the
first Sky Blues goal. The most stupid penalty I have seen to this
day. An aimless cross from the right wing into the Everton penalty
area. Not a CCFC player in sight. Mick leapt like a salmon - or
basketball player - and with arm raised vertical committed the
most blatant, and stupid handball ever with his outstretched hand.
Stone cold pen. Converted - don't know who by.
The other was the delightful Tommy Hutchison.
The dirtiest player I ever saw. He spent the whole evening in
a succession of ankle taps, pushes, and other dirty tricks, all
out of sight of the ref. Not sure he ever actually touched the
ball. He got one Everton player - can't remember who - so wound
up that he cracked and pushed him back. Though obviously the ref
saw this one. Think he escaped with a booking but was close call
to sending off.
It got to 3-0 with about 5 minutes left so we
decided to leave. On the radio in the car on the way home we learned
we had missed the consolation from the Blues.
Have tried to find out more about the game from
a bit of surfing, but without success. So if anyone knows more
about it - like the year, teams etc, would be great to know.

What a a game. my first ever game for the toffees, comes against
man u shite in the F.A Cup Final. My 6th birthday was on the 10th
of May and the ticket was a brilliant birthday present. The atmosphere
was brilliant. A fantastic experience to watch our team at Wembley
the then biggest stage in England.
Rideout's
header sent the crowd into uproar, we hung on brilliantly despite
a few of their chances. I'm so glad I was their to witness a trophy
won by our club. It would have been nice to have been born about
10 years earlier to witness our great 80's success, but I've only
seen one at the moment, so thats good enough for me.

This season's
excellent performance against Fulahm was my 3yr old son Benjamin's
first premiership game (pre season game against Udinese was his
first full match).
What
an excellent way to start his Everton career, we were in the Lower
Gwladys singing our heads off and cheering every trick that the
Spanish dancer had for the fulham defence, lets just hope he has
many more days like this.
Cheers
lads,
keep up the good work.

I have been an Evertonian in Hong Kong for 20 years. I choose
to be Evertonian when I was young because I think it was my destiny
to be Blue. My first Everton match that showed on the television
should be the FA cup final with Manchester United in 1985. Being
a Chinese Evertonian in Hong Kong is not a good experience since
most people (glory hunters) here support LFC (shite) or Man Utd.
They can’t understand why I support a team that almost relegated
in several occasions. But I still feel proud to be Evertonian.
It
is always my dream to visit Goodison Park. My dream came true
three years ago. I can still remember the excitement when I got
off from the bus and saw the banner “The People’s Club”!
For
all people I met in Goodison Park, they thought that I support
Everton because of Li Tie. Honestly, for those Chinese Evertonians
I met in Hong Kong, none of them supports Everton because of Li
Tie. I enjoyed the atmosphere here and was touched by the way
that the supporters did to the players especially when Judas Rxxxxy
was substituted. Anyways, I was delighted that we won the game
and it was perfect for my trip. I will remember this experience
in the rest of my life and I am planning to revisit in the near
future!
