Nostalgia Nights at Goodison

[Dancing Pat]

Under the lights used to mean half seven kick off, all over by ten past nine!

10 past nine stabbing time

 

[John BCN]

was that the goal he scored that deflected 30 foot up and over the keeper?

Not sure if it was an intentional lob or a deflection but yes it went high over the keeper (Jim Mcdonagh?). The City fans went wild. A real sickener as was the replay.

Pity they missed Colin Harvey's goal -what better that was fit to any title.....

There is a vid somewhere Joey but I couldn't find it
I was behind Colin's shot from the Bullens Rd paddock standing on my beer crate. What a goal it was. Literally fit to win the League

Last minute limbs, Radzinski v Southampton and Jelavic v Spurs to name two

Comebacks from impossible deficits, even if they end in defeat anyway such as United in 03

Half past nine is stabbing time, for night games in the 80's .

"Doo dah"!!!

Around 68/70 era (probably longer) one of the fellas was obviously called 'Joe' and the Street End would chant his name as they trudged along with the board, Joe would always smile and give a wave.
Walrus was also the match police Sergeant around that time, still recalled by all the arl fellas who went to the game, tall bloke ex Guardsman I think.

Walrus was sound , hard as nails but fair, if he gave you a tap with that long stick you knew about it.
Knew everybody and you moved quickly if he told you to move.
Unlike blackbeard who was just a thug in uniform.

"Doo dah"!!!

Forgot that bit

I was right behind it in the park end - the joy on my late father's place when he saw that blinding Harvey goal out of the game of us about 12 - there are only 3 of us alive today ..... a memorable night for the family plus friends - Goodison absolutely rocked that night - just a brilliant team .....

Despite his previous 32 goals that season. Are you sure? My memory of that game

Despite his 32 previous goals that season?

Didn’t realise that game was late in the season so my memory is out there, but I stick by my characterisation of Linacre during his career, he was a puddin’ of a footballer but a great goalscorer.

03/75? ... under cider, bottom right.
