Happy 30th Birthday - Kop Roof :-)


Recommended Posts

30 years ago today 1st match under the new Kop roof - capacity raised to 22,000 - 2-2 draw with Everton goals Hirst & Shutt. No more getting wet in the wind and the rain and I'll never forget the noise against Kaiserslauten !

 

(Apologies if I've "borrowed anyone's photos ;-) )

Are you sure? Pretty convinced Gary Lineker scored and he left Everton in summer 86.

Had to be a sad get and look it up. We got done 5 0 with the roof and 5 1 without a couple of years apart!

5-1 game then. definitely no roof the one I remember.

So who was on that night?

I was at the front left of goal, with about 15000 other kids, with about 20000 dads behind us lol

Aye I was there with my old fella in the middle. As I recall when number five went in he said something like buck this we're leaving and took me to the Grapes on Trippet Lane for me first time in a pub at night.
