Anyone remember the day we beat Saints 7-0 on the last day of the 1985/86 only to still miss out on the title because the RS won at Chelsea?

We needed them to be beaten and early doors there was a great cheer went around Goodison as a sadly erroneous rumour circulated that Chelsea had taken the lead?

I was reminded of that on Thursday night when a great roar went up from the direction of the Main Stand and within thirty seconds the whole stadium seemed to singing "I never felt more like singing the Blues".

This time the rumour was true and the RS had been beaten.

It took a long time but the wait was woth it....;)

6-1 Khalekan;):)
 

Painful day that.



Then we had a shootout with West Ham for 2nd/3rd the following midweek... which had r/s lost couldve been a title decider, reckon the East End printers had been busy cos the away end was bursting at the seams with what I reckon was 1 of the biggest away followings to come.
Smashed 'em as well, think its the highest they've ever finished ?


 
The rumours came through that the darkness were losing and we were banging the goals in for fun, as we need to overhaul a goal difference of about 8 I think. Had the rumour been true, we would have won by a cricket score.

Now now lads behave!!! You nearly had me there!!
That Soton game was bitterly disappointing. Rumour had it it was RS supporters who had come to GP caused the belief things were going our way. Grrr.

Yeah, was funny, there was plenty of people with small battery operated radio sets in Goodison that day trying to keep track of what was going on, great drama.

Who remembers half times on the hearts clubs diamonds and spades?

Me and my mates were in the enclosure and there was a woman leaning over from the front of the main stand shouting that the rs were getting beat, if I ever see her again I'll be having words.

His Grandson is same age as my lad, played against him a few times and run him ragged, Danny is on walking Sticks these days as has MS. Rod was always with him & a lads Dad was telling me other week he had been renting a house off him, Danny had paid the deposit and advanced some rent, when it ran out Rod didn't pay any more so he had to evict him.

That estate btw, is it on left as you go towards Manc on East Lancs Rd ? cos a few United players moved in there when they were built.
