I'd have been somewhere behind that goal. Oh, to have those days back.🤔

Remember the Wimbledon fans that day with all their banana inflatables, usually they would only bring about 50 fans.

byrdsman75.bsky.social•21 days ago

Me too, it always looked crazy from my viewpoint

brianwoolfinder.bsky.social•21 days ago

I miss those days like mad.

My favourite ever limbs, my dad dropped his baccy tin when that goal went in. Tobacco everywhere 🤣

Be careful what you throw out some memories can’t be replaced

mistressava386.bsky.social•21 days ago

Ohh yeah 👍

Brilliant photo, I was in the upper Bullens for that game. Just shown my lad what the Paddock used to look like.

morna6.bsky.social•21 days ago

Awesome memory.

Your Mum and I would be good friends.

Well, that's a keeper

I’ve just been clearing out cupboard in mums and this turned up!

byrdsman75.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yeah, that's pretty much where Dad and me stood, until the next year when we went in the Upper Bullens. That has to be the reason I'm stood at that location

We took other photos but they must still be at Mums

That’s where I started out in about 1983. Was a paddock regular from then until about 1988. Was close to that spot stood on the railings when Ratcliffe lifted the league trophy in 1987.

Its lovely memories, I hoped my lads who are 18 and 15 would have similar ones

Thankfully we are finally heading in the right direction

schoolscience.bsky.social•21 days ago

Same here mate, my lads are 20 and 22 and not seen us win a bean. They still go and for all the success that the other lot have had they say they wouldn’t change it for the world. Everton eh
