Surely one of the most stupid matches ever played - and at a neutral venue, Crystal Palace, Friday, 7 May

I have never met a Blue who went, the crowd was only 5031

It was pure Everton farce, two nil up, Whittle and Ball, Ball then misses a penalty and we lose three two

Good grief

Right, time for a tipple

It set the tone for the forthcoming season. Probably the worst 'Everton' i can ever recall.

Mick Bernard being bought as a replacement for 'Bally', told me Catterick had lost the plot that coming season, and I was only a kid.

Thinking back, they should have gone to Clough at Derby County, and offered him and Taylor whatever they wanted to come here.

wasn't that at Hillsborough?
arsenal scored last min penalty to make it 2-2.
gordon banks didn't move for it

for you I'd lose my self-esteem
for crewe I'd use junction 16
