Use to hate that terrace, not very deep the first couple of rows were below pitch level and the wall at the back meant you had no where to go. After I had bought a seat above, I never went back to standing at Goodison.

Wish there was a love button instead of a like button.   What a night that was. 

Never knew the Shed had an upper level.

In 78 when that picture was taken it was still the original terracing which went under the seats as well, we was on the left hand side Everton were on the right with no fence between just a couple of coppers they thought they would chuck a few things chant Everton and we would scatter we just charged through the Old Bill scattering them soon there was a lot more Old Bill suppose they thought we would run out the back like everybody else did in them days

One of the best games I've seen, well second halfs anyway, that 45 mins could be argued changed the course of our history, we went on to win cup first in 26 years and the rest is history as they say

Yep the atmosphere  was amazing even dough we only had three sides of the ground.  The benches rocked that day.

Very true. Given that people have started wearing flat caps again perhaps the club will start selling them.

Found this picture earlier. Is a bit fuzzy but some great players.

Was that when speedo got sent off against dippers in cup in 86? Well I think it was speedo got sent off? Funny thing is I was in shed that game, and didn't realise anyone got sent of till I got home, and the sending off was in the first half!!! We lost 2-1 and when I got home all the little scrotes who were TV dipper fans were giving it large, but back to the sending off,  in true Wenger style, " I did not see it"

 

Speedie was a motherf**ker

Found the photo on Facebook. Doesn't say when the photo was taken but I think you're right about the year. Found a clip of the cup game against the Dippers and he wasn't sent off. Also found this about his playing career at Chelsea. Sent-off three times including in the "infamous" game against Sunderland in 1985. What a night that was.

Yes your right, he didn't get sent off, he actually scored! But we were down to 10 men, unless we had two injuries (only 1 sub in those days), I just know I didn't realise we were playing with only 10 men for an hour or so, now thinking about it did Colin Lee and Kerry get injured? O'well I was just a dopey 16 yr old at the time ( now a stupid 47 yr old!)
