The Goodison Rd stand and terracing. Awesome. Intimidating. And architecturally beautiful.

1966 v Leeds Utd

Clinton Harvey always took a position on the post from corners, great defensive midfielder who could break towards , and has a sublime pass - The White Pele!

Got to laugh over the official attendance that day. 39,000. GP had a 53,000 capacity in those days and every seat was sold and the terraces were heaving. That kind of under-reporting was widespread in the 70s and 80s.

It was in the days were cough attendences pay at the gate were adjusted to beat the taxman maybe?

If you're referring to the old Goody Rd terracing then the answer is no. But then in those days there wasn't much coordinated chanting and singing as such. I suppose that's why the Kop was in its own way quite unusual. What there was at GP was a venomous, intimidating roar all round the ground. The Everton crowd was renowned for how partisan it was. I can recall a very old magazine article written by the football commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme (probably written in the mid-60s) in which he described the Everton crowd as the most partisan in the country and GP as the most intimidating stadium.

The street end was very good for chanting, sometimes the Goodison road was used by the away fans, but mainly the park end as singing opposition - We shall not be moved was played for the st end to chant before the teams came out!

Nice one mate.
For me, Colin was a deity in a blue shirt, classy on the blog, tough without being dirty and modest in the extreme.

It read, "£70,000 is an insult to the White Pele"
Spray painted in blue on a white bed sheet and hung over the electric scoreboard ahead of the 0-0 draw against Wolves, the first game after Colin was sold to Sheffield Wednesday.
