Goodison Park is exclusive and delightful, you’ll by no means discover a floor like this once more… says lifelong Everton fan

This place means all the things to us. I first got here to Goodison Park in 1979 with my dad and I come now with my brothers and our households. He handed Everton on to us and we’ve handed it on to the following era.

This place brings the household collectively and brings associates collectively. We’ve come right here each two weeks for many years and I can guarantee you that you’ll by no means discover a soccer floor like this once more. It’s distinctive and delightful. 

There’s a cause why we name her the ‘Grand Outdated Girl’ as a result of it’s all the things a soccer floor ought to be.

I do know everyone says it, however my favorite reminiscence was that night time in opposition to Bayern Munich in 1985, when the Gwladys Avenue stand actually sucked the ball into the web.

Nights like these confirmed you the facility of Goodison and even this season, within the draw with Liverpool when James Tarkowski scored a late equaliser, it was a reminder of what we’re able to.

After all, we’re all emotional. I cried thrice earlier than and in the course of the sport and I’m positive I’ll cry once more, as a result of this place is part of my life, the place so many recollections have been made. 

This was a spot that introduced family and friends collectively and can at all times be remembered

In the event you’re not a soccer fan, you’ll by no means perceive it. My dad taught us to assist Everton, nevertheless it wasn’t simply that. It’s about values and rules and taking care of each other. 

It’s as much as every of us now to ensure we don’t lose any of our custom and fervour with the transfer. 

We should take all the things out of right here, bottle it and take it to the Mersey, as a result of it’s time for Everton to maneuver ahead.
