Your first match at goodison

Everton V Birmingham, December 1976. A 2-2 draw, they scored early on and then equalised in the last minute, so Everton couldn't even win my first match for me! In between their goals Duncan McKenzie scored twice on his home debut, and Trevor Francis had a penalty saved by David Lawson. One of Billy Bingham's last games as Everton manager. Despite the disappointment of their late equaliser, I was hooked!
 

Like others no idea but round about 1965. Used to get passed over the turnstiles from Dad to uncle. A small stool with screw in legs was produced and lashed to the end of one of the crush barriers in the Park End. Best seat I’ve had in Goodison
