As its FA cup day ,Everton 0 Gillingham 0 FA cup 4th rnd ,went to 2 replays with Everton winning 3-0 in the second ,Howard kendal was under pressure and if lost could well have got sacked ,the first replay tony cascarino missed a last minute one on one with neville Southall, the rest is history Eveeton go on to win the Fa cup and the start of a few very successful years

remember those matches well. Was practically willing Everton to score , and beat them. A few close calls in some of our cup runs back in those days. Made a wee bit of a fool of myself in predicting the result against UCD from Ireland. Predicting a double figure aggregate win against the Irish part timers. How wrong was that. But we then go on to win that cup.
Was those matches Everton easing up. Our the smaller teams raising their game. Anyhow , here's to a win tomorrow. And getting this awful season at long last, kick started. Up The Toffees......

no forward rush then from those guys on the roof , if we score. No elf and safety back then. Although I suppose I'd also have prefer being on the roof as well. Compared to being crammed tight in that crowd. Never could stand tight crowds like that. All down to being claustrophobic. Needed arm movement. Great photo.

Blowing a gale that night. I thought that would have been the leveller but we came through unscathed

Died 100 years ago today, Charles Frederick Parry (1870 – 4 February 1922) was a Welsh footballer who played as a defender for Everton in the 1890s, helping them to win the Football League championship in 1891. He also made thirteen appearances for the Wales national football team including four as captain. Later in his career, he returned to Wales where he won the Welsh Cup with Aberystwyth Town in 1900. He subsequently fell on hard times and was the beneficiary of three testimonial matches

We nearly went out against UCD. They hit the woodwork at GP and if that had gone in we would have been out on away goals rule

That's what I meant. It was far too close. And ucd were just part time footballers. We should have hammered them. But as we all know , football doesn't work like that.

I was at that. There was very generous applause from the Goodison crowd for the UCD effort that night. Showed class.

Wasn't that the 1966 Charity Shield game?
We had won the FA Cup and England won the World Cup that summer, the other lot had won the league.
They paraded all 3 trophies around the ground.
We had also signed Alan Ball that summer, the biggest prize of all.
Not sure if Bally played that day or not?
