On This Day – January 27th 2001

Both teams were struggling in their respective Leagues, but Premier League Everton were expected to see off their Division One neighbours Tranmere. In the end, it proved to be one of the lowest points of manager Walter Smith’s reign as the side managed by Liverpool legend John Aldridge were thoroughly deserving winners. The visitors were […]

More than 15,000 Wigan fans packed into the Park End for this FA Cup clash, pushing the attendance figure to over 51,000, the biggest of the season at Goodison Park. Joe McBride put the home side ahead just after the hour-hour mark, slotting home Gary Stanley’s cross for his second senior goal. The visitors were […]

On This Day – January 25th 1986

Visitors Blackburn had a certain Glen Keeley in their ranks, the player who was famously sent-off thirty minutes into his Everton debut in a derby against Liverpool and never played for the club again – it was the game the Blues lost 5-0 at Goodison with Ian Rush scoring four.

On This Day – January 24th 1984

After Adrian Heath’s dramatic equaliser the week before, Everton finished off giant-killers Oxford United in blizzard conditions at Goodison Park.

The visitors were never really in […]

On This Day – January 23rd 1960

Going into the match, Everton were third from bottom of the table, two points behind opponents Forest. The Blues had signed Tommy Ring from Clyde and he had an impressive debut on the left wing in the very wet conditions.

On This Day – January 22nd 1966

Everton’s road to FA Cup glory in 1966 began with this victory over Sunderland and it was fitting that the man who would score the glorious winner in May’s final, Derek Temple, should set them on their way with a superb downward header which eluded Jim Montgomery in the visitor’s goal and went in off […]
