Everton 3 Norwich 1 / March 24th 1990 / Att: 21,707

Everton: Southall, Snodin, Pointon, Ratcliffe, Keown, Whiteside, Atteveld, McCall, Sharp, Cottee, Sheedy

Scorers: Cottee (2), Sharp

My first game at Goodison was a league game attended with my Dad and brother against Norwich on the 24th March 1990 for a thirteenth birthday present. Remember thinking this somehow entitled me to witness an Everton victory as appropriate for my first attendance. As is unfortunately sometimes the case with Everton things weren't looking too clever at half-time as we were trailing by a goal. Must've looked fairly disgruntled (as well as freezing I recall) as on way back from the gents an Evertonian told me to cheer up as everything would be alright! Thankfully this was the case as, if my memory serves me right, two Tony Cottee goals and one from Sharpy in the second half; the latter which broke Bob Latchford's postwar goalscoring record; saw the Blues home.

Everton 1 Coventry 1 / 10th May 1998 / Att 40,109

Everton: Myhre, O' Kane, Short, Watson, Ball, Tiler, Farrelly, Hutchison, Barmby, Madar, Ferguson

Scorer: Farrelly

I remember this game for all the right reasons. I never knew how important this game was in the clubs history until the final few minutes. Gareth Farrelly's screamer gave us the lead, and Nick Barmby could have made the game safe with the penalty. Dublins late goal had the ground silent, but thanks to Chelsea beating Sheff Utd. we stayed in the Premiership

Scorers: Weir, Cahill

Can I put forward my first game? I am a life long Evertonian who lives in Perth, Australia. I was born in Oz and have never been to Liverpool (my dad's birthplace). A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to play cricket in Liverpool and even luckier, to get a ticket to the Everton v Newcastle game at the end of the 2005 season. You know the one, we had to win to secure a place in the Champions League from the Red Sh*te and Bolton I think. I was absolutely blown away when I walked up the stairs to sit in the Family Enclosure (I know, I know). Then when Davey Weir headed the ball beyond the Newcy keeper I thought my head was gonna explode it was that loud!!! Timmy the Blue Kangaroo then put the second in!!! 2-0!!! Go you Blue boys!!! The rest they say is history… Damn Italian refs… I then had to sit through 1023 Liverpool games on tele (that’s all that was on free to air) and their bloody Champions League parade through town. I lost 50 quid on that game as well…

Everton: Southall, Jackson, Hinchcliffe, Snodin, Watson, Ablett, Ward, Beardsley, Cottee, Kenny, Radosavljevic

Scorers: Cottee (2), Hinchcliffe

Just thought I'd write in with my first ever game. It was in 1993 I think and it was Everton v Notts Forest game. The boys won 3-0 and if I'm correct it was a Tony Cottee hat-trick. Don't get to go much these days being exiled at Uni in South Wales but my dad an lil sis are season ticket holders in the Lower Gwladys.

Everton 1 WBA 2 / September 8th 1954

Everton: O'Neill, Moore, Donovan, Farrell, Jones, Lello, McNamara, Fielding, Hickson, Parker, Eglington

Scorer: Jones

My first visit to Goodison was in August or September 1954. I was a third generation Evertonian, so I was a Chosen One from birth. I had actually seen the Blues play in a testimonial game at Runcorn three years earlier. So dare I say it, I remember the time that we were a Second division side.

1954 saw us promoted and one of the first games was against West Bromwich Albion, the holders of the FA Cup. It was an evening midweek game. Remember this was before floodlights. I sat in the Upper Bullens Road Stand and so eager was I to soak in the atmosphere, we arrived two hours before kick off. It's the same stand that is there today, probably only the paint has been changed, although not its colour. Double decker stands all round. It was intimidating.

In those days you could also rent a cushion to sit on, the seats were flat and wooden and very uncomfortable if you didn't have a cushion. The trouble was the atmosphere did not intimidate the Baggies enough. We lost 2-1 if I recall.

Move forward fifty years. In August 2004 I was at Goodison when in August of that year, the Blues played West Brom again on the way to Champions League qualification.And that year West Brom were relegated. Revenge for spoiling my night in 1954.

Biggest crowd I have been part of, 75,000 on Boxing Day, or the day after, against Burnley in about 1962 or 1963. Happiest memory? Winning the FA Cup in 1966 on what was my first visit to Wembley.

Everton: Southall, Jackson, Burrows, Watson, Hinchcliffe, Unsworth, Ebbrell, Limpar, Horne, Ferguson, Rideout

Scorer: Ferguson

I think we took the lead but still got beat 1-4. I remember a certain Mark Bright running rings around us that day, and also some soft Owls fans with their tops off playing the drums.

Everton 3 Coventry City 1 / February 7th 1987 / Att: 30,402

Everton: Southall, Stevens, Van den Hauwe, Ratcliffe, Watson, Reid, Steven, Heath, Sharp, Snodin, Power

Scorers: Stevens, Steven (pen), Heath

My dad is a Liverpool (shite) fan, but my uncle took me to see Everton. From the moment I set foot in the ground there was never any question of me following any other team. - I cant remember the date, but it was against Coventry City. Cyril Regis scored to put them up one nil at half time but Trevor Steven scored a penalty before we went on to eventually win 3-1.

It was a great day and one I’ll never forget!

Scorers: Thomas (3), Collins, Parker, Shackleton

I saw my first game at Goodison back in in 1959 (I think). John Carey had just signed Tommy Ring from a Scottish club and we played against Nottingham Forest and won.

Can you tell me the date of the game and the score?
