Remember that game. I had a job interview on the friday, stayed in london the weekend, went to that game. Got the job and still with same company.
That was around the time i thought Everton were really losing their major team status. Beardsley apart we were really downgrading from a few years previously.

Still reckon Beardsley was a total genius. Clubs kept selling him because the other players weren't good enough to play with him ...

Beardsley is a football genius. He is not a pleasant man.

He started like a house on fire when he first signed, I thought we'd signed a gem lol

He looked about 45 then. Maybe the tache?

I played against him in junior football and living near Newcastle, have heard all of the stories of his coaching career at the Skunks

Alan Biley, the worst ever haircut by an Everton player. Lauded by Dennis Law as a 'natural striker', sold later on in the season after scoring 3 goals.

Everton Results

Maybe not a classic game, but MOTD highlights from a 0-0 draw with West Ham. Everton would end the season in 8th place (out of 22 back then) and West Ham 9th.
