BBC Official History of Everton FC 1988

[Billy Dean]

This just came up on my YouTube feed. The BBC official history film they did in 88, narrated by John Motson. Had this on VHS and watched it religiously as a kid. Still remember large parts of the text now even though I haven't seen it for the best part of 30 years

Nice little trip down memory lane

Yes, brings great memories back for me too, was about 12 at the time, god knows how many times I watched it. Will enjoy rewatching later. Thanks

 

[Sheedy's right peg]

I must have watched that 50 times!

Kids these days don't know what life was like before social media/youtube/digital TV...

Not sure I’ve seen this. Thanks for the heads up!

Wow my dad has this on VHS, haven't watched it for around 30 years! Will be putting this on over Christmas

Had this on vhs and converted it to dvd. Best vhs we released though was "The striking years"

I bought it when it came out when I was a kid and still own it. Have a box in my loft with loads of various Everton VHS videos and blues related stuff I recorded off tv that I won't part with.

Motson does a cracking job narrating the Everton history video though. You'd have thought he was Blue. It's a great watch for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Love the footage of the 1930s team and Dixie, Lawton and Mercer

The golden vision moment and the accompanying music literally brought a tear to my eye. My late dad said, Alex Young wasn’t just loved, he was idolised by the fans.

Watched it many times on VHS.
Loved the ending to the music. And brian labones words.

Roy Vernon looked absolutely class in the clips. He doesn't seem to be one people talk about too much these days

Still got it in the loft. Literally watched it every day as a kid.

No way mate, I had this on VHS used to watch it all day every day until the tape tied.

Can still remember all the words in my head.

This is awesome thanks for posting!

“But you’ll never be as good as Dixie” to Lawton.
