Cup finals etc were even more trying though for me anyhow, in particular 1986,I often wish we'd gone out in an earlier round!!
The 3 league cup final games in 77 should've been enough to scare me off as a 7yr old.

Alas...


It's like death by a thousand cuts being an Evertonian. I must be up in the 900s by now lol

At least you got the 80s success in your football supporting prime. I was a little one then, and grew up thinking Everton always won trophies, or at least got to the final most years.

It's been a bitter, grinding wake-up call ever since!
 

I was 12 at the time, was in the lower bullens for that one. Cried all the way home. Another deep seated scar to help formulate my inner hatred for all things kopite. Stands me in good stead to this day lol
It was a horrible afternoon for this 13 year old blue,the only tiny consolation I've ever taken from it was that some of our players that day would be part of the success that followed over the coming years,so maybe a bit of a harsh lesson was learned against what was let's be honest,a formidable team. Even 86 (as horrible as it was)we were at least competing with them on equal terms. Far worse for me was our capitulation at Wembley to a team that contained the likes of Brad Jones and Jay Spearing,and the cup game the other year.

Double whammy runners up to that lot in League and Cup. Sickening. 1987 at least was some consolation,but bloody hell I never dreamed it would be our last title for 35 years and counting (yes I am including 21-22!)
 

I was at that game. Had an amazing view of Glenn Keeley’s historic debut. From what I saw of yesterday’s goals, his spirit is with still with us.
I was front row, bang centre of the park end stand, completely surrounded by the banjo pluckers.
Stayed till the end. Sickened. But to be honest I was more sickened by Saturday's collapse
 
I was going down the steps when the 4th went in, half way down County Road for the 5th
Weird,first time I've ever heard a goal go in from outside Goodison,a big roar I'd convinced myself we'd pulled it back to 4-3,how can 1000 Watford fans across the other side of Goodison make that much noise? lol

What a season that was to be a young blue,I was eleven, that trilogy alone was traumatic enough, then you add in the Treorchy terror at Maine Road :(
