DJMortimer Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thank God we helped Di Canio out of the club (yes, I know he was a nutcase). We were much better off without him. Humphreys, Pembridge, Magilton, Sonner et al used to score goals like that all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambownumber5 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 One too many benders has meant that I can remember very little from the period around the millennium but watching the highlights there, it felt like it was only yesterday. I was only 17 at the time and had gone on an inbetweeners style trip to Merseyside. We sat in the home end as one of the fellas was an Everton fan and I was gutted looking over at the away end as they were in full voice and going mental. Abiding memories were: 1) The quality of our away support 2) Di Canio's goal and that he was bang up for it and absolutely unplayable despite his little pal being suspended 3) Emerson Thome's performance & celebrations: The man was going berserk, not seen many of our players enjoying a victory like that since 4) The new ball that was being tested out (The Mitre Fluo Flare) which was flourescent green and allegedly much easier to see even though it was a sunny day in April? 5) That shitty snide kick on Dicano after he had walked the ball into the net (was it Craig Short?) Also by todays standards the refereeing for Booth's second yellow seems very draconian and backward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markowski77 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 How good was di canio though absolutely unplayable at times. Just tormented defenders all day and them white boots he wore, I remember as a kid searching high and low for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days players are told to put the ball in the back of the net in those situations and there's never a yellow card shown unless it's flagrant time wasting.

Hougoumont Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I remember walking out from the match behind three Everton supporters and overhearing their conversation. Absolutely stunned by De Canio and wondering where that "ginger dwarf" came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were Pantafolo d'Oro. There was only one shop in Sheffield that sold them can't remember the name of the shop (might have been inter sports) but it was next door to GT news near where St.Pauls hotel is now. My lads got some Pantafolo d'Oro now, nice boots, when he found out that Wednesday players used to wear them, they sold themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yep, remember it well. Looked very much like Everton were going down after that. I remember Andy Gray being very down on Monday Night Football afterwards. They escaped though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back you have to think Dave Richards already had an eye on his new Premier League job. I'll also add. Andy Booth, Jordan Rhodes, Elias Kachunga. I hope we never sign another striker from Huddersfield Town ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cliche but the man was an absolute warrior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
