I said to my mate Spanner, if Everton score from this and we go down , it will be very unfair (or words to that effect). They did, we did, and it still rankles with me 54 years later. Speaking of remembering things chap...that one (presume it was the 69/70 season) was the first game my elder brother ever went to... My Dad worked with a guy called Ian who was an Everton fan and they both went and took our John with him... My Dad saved my first match for the last game of the season - yes - the relegation one v Man City....a life of eternal disappointment from game one onwards for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOFABI Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 You've got 20 years on me but I've had plenty a dull moment. Usually against Stoke or Charlton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThruThinAndThinner Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Great milestone, congratulations! I'm a couple of years ahead of you, my first game was in April 1972 (my Dad took me) and I've still got the prog somewhere. We lost 2-1 (at home to Birmingham with Bob Latchford and a young Tricky Trev in their side) ..... the first of many disappointments watching Wednesday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
