Epic photo

This one ended up on Lloyd St....some bad things happened that day.

Crikey that's a long way for fans to be fighting, I used to go to my wife's Mums in Ashton avenue and got chased by about 200 Everton fans at 6 o'clock on a Saturday evening. I'd just been to get the Pink lol

48k or whatever Swales declared.

Absolutely rammed, loads stood in the rows as seats had been double booked, jibbed in whatever, carnage but a good carnage :)

Listen to Barry Davies' commentary at the end there.

"I really think it's rather pointless trying to get the fans off the pitch. They've come to celebrate, not to cause problems."

We're a world away from that now. It's all furrowed brows and condemnation.

Best home shirt ever

Our lowest ever league crowd

Remember my Dad saying that it was really cold that night and his mate, who he went to match with saying that it would be alright when they got in the crowd as it would be warmer. When they did get in, what a surprise, only 8,000 had turned up.
