I had to wait through two scoreless losses (everton that:rant: ) before Mike Trebilcock in the FA cup win versus Sheff Weds. :dance:

By my understanding we were 0-2 down in that game meaning we had to ship 7 goals after my birth before we scored one.

Sake.
That was one day I'll never forget, going overnight with my dad by coach, ending up in a pub at Covent Garden at 7 in the morning drinking with the workers (the pubs had a special licence to open there), then train to Wembley, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, loads of beer on the coach home, unforgettable! Then there was the World Cup games at Goodison, I saw them all, Absolutely fantastic! In the December of '66 I got married and we will, hopefully, celebrate our 54th anniversary this year. Good luck and stay safe to all Blues!
 

Some proper jinx's on here, and it appears I'm another!

Born just after Billy Bingham was booted - no goals on the 15th of January in a 2-0 home defeat to Ipswich, in Steve burtenshaws first game in charge.

Duncan Macenzie scored my first Everton goal in a 1-1 draw with bleeding Bolton - decent player to have as your first goal like, but I have to accept that I'm a jinx.
