For me it was the 66 cup final.i was at a few of the earlier rounds but never got to the final
No excuses I was 12 at the time I should have been there

If there was one Everton match you wished you had been at but missed when was it?

Probably Arsenal at Goodison in 2007 when AJ hit a very late winner in the pouring rain. Was only 12 at the time and my older brother wouldn't go because of the weather and the fact we'd have had to bus it. Whenever I see that goal back now I still get mad.
All the arl fellas talk about the Munich game as if it was the peak night of the great 80s side, would likely go for that
Yeah, Bayern Munich for me as well.

Bayern Munich. Had a major operation that day in Walton Hospital. I had not missed a home game all season. Still guts me to this day. 
Feel like I should pick one of the nights when we won something, but as I'm not old enough to have watched any of those players, don't think I'd have the same connection.
Honestly that Palace game under Lampard I bet was an amazing night.

More seriously, I think I'd have to pick Everton 5-0 Manchester United.
That was the absolute peak of that team, in many ways. Thrashing United and winning at Anfield in the space of a week is, well, Heaven on Earth for an Evertonian. That 5-0 win must surely be the most forgotten signature performance of any great team in English football. It wasn't even televised...

To be fair not many were back then.

Bayern Munich. Didn't have two brass farthings those days and had already borrowed off my mam and dad to feed the four of us. Just went into radio silence and switched Radio City on at the games end.
Never actually heard the score just the roar as Trevor Steven scored the third.

Even highlights? Maybe Granada/ITV had it, but it wasn't shown on Match of the Day. I suppose, given the dispirate ways that the BBC and ITV manage their archives, if you weren't on Match of the Day you didn't exist...

Yes, I know there is footage - and there's lots of it as an extra on the Howard's Way DVD - but was there any match commentary highlights? Was Martin Tyler there for Granada or was there a strike or something? I must research...
Think there was a dispute in early 85 to christmas 85, but this was before

Rotterdam. My dad said he couldn't afford to take me and my sister, so none of us went. He promised we could go to the European Cup Final in '86 though
